Abstract
Dark matter (DM) is a mysterious energy component of our Universe which occupies about a quarter of its total energy density. The existence of DM is necessary for realizing our visible world, however, the detailed properties of DM are still unknown. In this talk, I will explain the motivation and possible strategies that we can take to extract information on the nature of DM, focusing on the so-called indirect searches and the structure formation.
