Abstract: Under the assumption we can finance and build the next gigantic long base line neutrino oscillation experiments, there are some obstacles to achieve the precision we aim. These obstacles are related to neutrino flux predictions but mainly to the modelling of neutrino-Nucleus cross-sections. In this seminar, we revisit the implications of cross-section mis-modelling, review the actual status and future developments. Neutrino-nucleus cross-sections is a field of research where both theorists and experimentalists need to work together to achieve the level of precision required by current and future oscillation experiments.
