Neutrino reactions on nuclei play important roles for the dynamics of supernovae and their associated nucleosynthesis. This manuscript summarizes the current status in deriving the relevant cross sections for supernova neutrinos and discusses the importance of neutrino-nucleus reactions for supernova nucleosynthesis. In particular we report on the first study of neutrino nucleosynthesis which consistently considers time-dependent spectra for all neutrino flavors as predicted by supernova simulations.
