Since their discovery until today, neutrinos have been one of the most  intriguing particles for physicists. Their capability to oscillate between leptonic  flavors, the origin of their masses or their relationship with astrophysical phenomena  are just some examples of the questions they arise. DUNE is a next generation neutrino experiment based on the Liquid Argon TPC technology aiming to further study these particles, and it is expected to start taking data early next decade. In the meantime, different prototypes as ProtoDUNE-SP are being hosted at CERN to validate and improve the installation and commissioning procedures, the detector performance, and the physics potential of the technologies DUNE is going to use.
