Neutrinos are the most elusive among the elementary particles, yet they are copiously present in our Universe. They are much lighter than the charged fermions and the mixing revealed in neutrino oscillations is very different from that of quarks. They are also the only elementary fermions that can be their own antiparticles. Due to their unique properties they can also have a close connection to Dark Matter as well as are ideal probes of New Physics. 

I will exemplify the potentially rich phenomenology of neutrino mass models with a simple setup in which neutrino masses are generated at the one-loop level. Furthermore, I will introduce a supersymmetric model with a discrete flavour symmetry and CP that not only makes predictions for the leptonic CP phases, but also explains the size of the lepton and quark mixing angles as well as of the Jarlskog invariant correctly.
