DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Marco Cirelli (LPTHE and Sorbonne Université\, Pari
 s)\n\nAlmost a century after its discovery\, Dark Matter has not been iden
 tified yet. Even worse\, the candidates that were more promising a few yea
 rs/decades ago\, those that the community was betting to find “just arou
 nd the corner"\, have not shown up in the ever-improving searches. Hence t
 heorists have gone back to the drawing board and restarted exploring a wid
 er range of possibilities. Many new ideas have been proposed\, and some ol
 d ideas have been rediscovered. In this talk I will present a (necessarily
  biased and personal) view of some Dark Matter candidates. I will argue th
 at the cherished WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles) should not b
 e dismissed yet\, but also that other candidates are well motivated\, inte
 resting and worth looking for.++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
