DESCRIPTION:The strong evidences for neutrino oscillations from atmospheri
 c\, solar and the KamLAND neutrino experiments imply that two out of the t
 hree leptonic mixing angles are large. For the third mixing angle\, theta_
 {13}\, currently only an upper bound from the CHOOZ experiment exits. The 
 next step towards a full understanding of the neutrino sector will be a me
 asurement of this third angle. In this talk the possibility to measure the
 ta_{13} with a future reactor neutrino oscillation experiment consisting o
 f a near and far detector is discussed. Taking into account various system
 atical errors it is shown that reaching a sensitivity for sin^2 2 theta_{1
 3} down to 0.01 may be possible with such an experiment. This shows that r
 eactor neutrino experiments are highly competitive to the planned first-ge
 neration superbeam experiments in testing theta_{13}. On the other hand\, 
 due to the complementarity of the two types of experiments a combination o
 f a KamLAND-size reactor experiment with one or two superbeams could subst
 antially improve the ability to obtain information on the type of the neut
 rino mass hierarchy or the leptonic CP phase.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es
