Abstract
In this contribution we briefly review some of the current issues and promises for the  future by asteroseismology. We are entering a new phase in this field driven by the  wealth of data that has been collected and data that will soon be available for  asteroseismology across the HR Diagram. Major difficulties in the descriptions of stellar  interiors that arose in the second half of the 20th century may now be in part addressed  and solved (this is the expectation!) by asteroseismology with unprecedented precision. In this contribution we list some of the key open questions in stellar physics, the seismic  data we expect to collect in the near future, and some techniques that will provide the tools to connect data and models.
