The topic of dark matter is not, unfortunately, widely explored, especially, in the direction of composite dark matter models, which attract more interest in view of the problems of  direct searches for simple dark matter candidates like WIMPs or  supersymmetric particles. The development of such models implies  studies of physics Beyond the Standard model, cosmological scenarios  of LSS formation and astrophysical and physical probes for the  composite dark matter constituents.

A major progress has been made in neutrino physics after the discovery of the neutrino oscillation phenomenon by the Super-Kamiokande and SNO experiments.  This discovery has shown that neutrinos are massive particles with mixings. Most of the oscillation parameters are nowadays precisely measured. However crucial open questions remain concerning the absolute neutrino mass and mass ordering, the neutrino Dirac versus Majorana nature, the existence of sterile neutrinos and of CP violation in the lepton sector.
