I will discuss how geometric phases emerge in superconducting nanocircuits. Depending on the design both the abelian and non-abelian versions can be realized. I will further discuss their relation with Cooper pair pumping and present a proposal where non-abelian effects can be detected in the pumped charge. Finally in the presence of dissipation additional contributions to the pumped charge appear.
