Description
The search for dark matter is an exciting topic that is pursued in different communities over a wide range of masses and using a variety of experimental approaches.
The result is a strongly correlated matrix of activities across Europe and beyond, both on the experimental and the theoretical side.
We suggest to encourage and foster the collaboration of the involved institutions on technical, scientific and organisational level, in order to realise the synergies that are required to increase the impact of dark matter research and to cope with the increasing experiment sizes.
The suggested network --- loosely titled "DMInfraNet" --- could be realised as a new initiative of the European strategy or be based on existing structures like iDMEu or DRD. The network can also serve as a nucleus for future joint funding proposals.
