We present an overview of the future projects concerning the neutrino oscillation physics in Europe. Recently a joint CERN–LNGS scientific committee has reviewed several proposals both for the study of atmospheric neutrinos and for long (LBL) and short baseline (SBL) neutrino oscillation experiments. The committee has indicated the priority that the European high energy physics community should follows in the field of neutrino physics, namely a new massive, atmospheric neutrino detector and a ντ appearance campaign exploiting the new CERN–LNGS Neutrino Facility (NGS), freshly approved by CERN and INFN. The sensitivity and the discovery potential of the whole experimental program in the Super–Kamiokande allowed region are discussed.
