Recent years have witnessed many exciting breakthroughs in subnuclear and astroparticle physics. The detection of neutrino oscillations has proved that neutrino are massive particles and cosmological observations suggest that about 25% of the universe matter is dark and non-Baryonic. However, the neutrino mass scale needs still to be fixed and the non-Baryonic matter is still undetected with its real nature unknown. Cryogenic detectors can play a crucial role in addressing the still open questions, but a new generation of detectors is required. The present and future roles of cryogenic detectors in neutrino and astroparticle physics are discussed

Abstract
Recent years have witnessed many exciting breakthroughs in subnuclear and astroparticle physics. The detection of neutrino oscillations has proved that neutrino are massive particles and cosmological observations suggest that about 25% of the universe matter is dark and non-Baryonic. However, the neutrino mass scale needs still to be fixed and the non-Baryonic matter is still undetected with its real nature unknown. Cryogenic detectors can play a crucial role in addressing the still open questions, but a new generation of detectors is required. The present and future roles of cryogenic detectors in neutrino and astroparticle physics are discussed
