The existence of dark matter is largely undisputed, yet even 80 years after its first discovery all evidence is based on gravitational effects on large scales only. After more than two decades of dedicated effort, the sensitivity of searches for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) proposed to explain the dark matter observations has reached a level that overlaps largely with the prediction of models developed with the most basic assumptions. The lack of a signal in direct searches for WIMP interactions as well as the lack of evidence for new particles at the LHC forces us to consider models other than the simplest SuperSymmetric extensions of the standard model of particle physics.
