comments = "The investigation of neutrino properties is one of the most active fields of research in current high-energy physics. The existence of neutrino masses and mixing imply that non-trivial neutrino electromagnetic properties are plausible and experimentalists and theorists are eagerly looking for them.  The theoretical and experimental study of neutrino electromagnetic interactions is a powerful tool in the search for the fundamental theory beyond the Standard Model. Moreover, the electromagnetic interactions of neutrinos can generate important effects, especially in astrophysical environments, where neutrinos propagate for long distances in magnetic fields both in vacuum and in matter. 

In the proposed talk, after a derivation of all the possible types of electromagnetic interactions of Dirac and Majorana neutrinos, I discuss their effects in terrestrial and astrophysical environments and the corresponding experimental results. In spite of many efforts in the search of neutrino electromagnetic interactions, up to now there is no positive experimental indication in favor of their existence. However, during recent years a reasonable progress has been achieved in obtaining new (more stringent) constraints on the upper bound of the neutrino effective magnetic moment. It is expected that in one-two years  from now a new range for the neutrino magnetic moment will become accessible for investigations in terrestrial experiments.
