The LHC Dark Matter Working Group (LHC DM WG) within the LHC Physics Centre at CERN (LPCC) brings together theorists and experimentalists to define guidelines and recommendations for the benchmark models, interpretation, and characterisation necessary for broad and systematic searches for dark matter at the LHC. Its mandate also includes improving the set of tools available to the experiments, such as higher- precision calculations of the backgrounds, assisting theorists with understanding and making use of LHC results, and maintaining close connections with theorists and other experimental particle DM searches towards a better understanding of viable dark matter models and complementarity between collider and non-collider experiments. The LHC DM WG holds open workshops and meetings.

The LHC Long-lived Particles Working Group (LHC LLP WG) within the LHC Physics Centre at CERN (LPCC) brings together experimentalists and theorists to discuss the physics of new long-lived particles at the LHC, also covering physics with unconventional experimental signatures. The WG serves as a formal bridge with the relevant physics groups of the LHC experiments in terms of recommendations for benchmark models, presentation of results and, facilitating communication between theory and experiments including validation and deployment of specific event generation tools, reinterpretation, new search directions. It holds open meetings complementing the workshops organised by the broader Long-Lived Particle Community.

The Feebly Interacting Particles Physics Centre (FPC) within the CERN Physics Beyond Colliders (PBC) Study Group has the main goal of developing and further boosting the potential of the PBC experiments for the physics of feebly-interacting particles, taking into account the worldwide context, recent theory progress and relevant results from neighboring fields (axion physics, dark matter direct detection, active neutrino physics, astroparticle, cosmology, etc.). It acts as a central forum for exchanges between the PBC experimental community and theorists for assessment of the feebly interacting particles physics reach of the proposed projects in a global landscape. The FPC holds open workshops.

The European Consortium for Astroparticle Theory (EuCAPT) aims to bring together the European community of theoretical astroparticle physicists and cosmologists. Its goals are to increase the exchange of ideas and knowledge, coordinate scientific and training activities, help scientists attract adequate resources for their projects, and promote a stimulating, fair and open environment in which young scientists can thrive.
