DESCRIPTION:We have strong evidence that about 95% of matter in our Univer
 se is dark\, revealing its presence only by its gravitational attraction. 
 In hierarchical structure formation\, two macro-structures exist in the Mi
 lky Way: the dark halo\, and the dark disk. If the dark matter in these st
 ructures is made of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles\, it can be direc
 tly detected via elastic scattering from nuclei in ultra- low background\,
  deep underground detectors. I will give an informal overview of the exper
 iments with best sensitivities to date\, and show the prospects for the ne
 ar future. I will comment on the DAMA evidence for an annual modulation of
  their event rate\, and compare with current\, or expected results from ot
 her direct detection experiments.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDispl
