DESCRIPTION: Diverse astrophysical and cosmological observations indicate 
 that most of the matter in the Universe is cold\, dark and non-baryonic.  
 Weakly Interactive Massive Particles (WIMPs) are generically a good dark m
 atter candidate and particle physics provides us with a well-motivated WIM
 P candidate in the form of the lightest supersymmetric particle. WIMPs can
  be detected indirectly (via the products of their annihilation) or direct
 ly (via elastic scattering in underground detectors).  They can also be pr
 oduced at particle colliders like the LHC. After an introduction to dark m
 atter and WIMPs I will discuss the principles\, current status and future 
 prospects of WIMP detection experiments.
