  • DM evidences and candidates (Marco Cirelli, CNRS & U Sorbonne)
  • Direct DM searches (WIMPs) (Belina von Krosigk, U Heidelberg)
  • Direct DM searches (axions & ALPs) (Bela Majorovits, MPP Munich)
  • DM search with astrophysical observations (Elisa Pueschel, RU Bochum)
  • Accelerator-based DM searches (Jan Heisig, RWTH Aachen)
  • Deep Learning in astroparticle physics (Jonas Glombitza, U Erlangen)
  • Gravitational waves (Kai Schmitz, U Münster)
  • DM search with paleo detectors (Alexey Elykov, KIT)
  • GEANT4 Simulations for Rare Event Searches (Holger Kluck, HEPHY Vienna)
