Some neutrino properties, such as the absolute mass, can be probed very precisely using cosmological data. In the talk I will review how neutrinos influence the formation of structure as well current bounds on neutrino properties. I will then discuss future structure formation probes, mainly the recently approved ESA mission EUCLID and its potential for probing neutrino physics. Finally, some of the problems in structure formation simulations which must be addressed in order to fully exploit future data will be discussed.
