Despite the overwhelming gravitational evidence for the existence of dark matter, we still lack an understanding of its particle physics nature. In this work, we investigate the phenomenology of WIMPs, a class of dark matter candidates which can be probed by direct detection, indirect detection and collider experiments. We first study the complementarity of these search strategies within t-channel simplified models, and then discuss a variety of model-independent approaches for interpreting the data from direct and indirect searches.
