Description

The main outcome of decades of efforts for the identification of dark matter (at colliders, direct detection underground, indirect detection via astrophysical signals) is a null result. What lessons have we learned, if any? Which models are still viable, and with what motivations? I will review some the trends in the theoretical and phenomenological dark matter community and a few of the observational opportunities that will open up in the forthcoming years, in particular in indirect techniques.
