Purpose

The goal of this one-day miniworkshop is to discuss recent developments on new ways of probing sub-GeV particle dark matter candidates. Three overview talks (one hour each) will cover astrophysical probes, new experiments, and theory aspects for dark matter detection. There will be four talks (30 minutes each) which discuss specific topics related to these frontiers. Two discussion sessions will be held for brainstorming.
