Dark Matter constitutes more than 80% of the matter in the universe but cannot be accommodated within the Standard Model of particle physics. Dark Matter particles might be produced in the proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and finding evidence for such processes is one of the main objectives of the physics programme of the LHC experiments. I will give an overview of the typical search
