The form factors of the nucleon provide key information on nucleon
properties. When confronted with precisely measured observables from
experiments, they serve as benchmark quantities for lattice calculations. On the
other hand lattice determinations may serve as vital theory input for the
interpretation of experiments, e.g. in neutrino-nucleus scattering. I
review recent progress in the calculation of nucleon form factors on the
lattice and its relevance to future experiments.
