ABSTRACT:
 
During the last two decades there has been a significant improvement in the understanding of the properties of neutrinos. Today, one of the major pending questions is whether neutrinos and antineutrinos are fundamentally different. The answer to this question has important ramifications for other neutrino properties, and even for the origin of the Universe.
 
This topic can be addressed through various techniques, that are currently being explored by different experiments. In this talk some of the future steps of neutrino experiments will be discussed towards this goal through the study of neutrinoless double beta decay with the SNO+ experiment and through accelerator neutrino physics with DUNE.
