Abstract: Particle physics has entered an era marked by profound mysteries and unprecedented challenges. Key enigmas include the elusive nature of dark matter, the origin of neutrino masses, and the absence of CP violation in the strong sector. In response to these puzzles, a compelling frontier has emerged, characterized by the search of new physics in the form of Feebly Interacting Particles (FIPs) at mass scales extending from sub-eV to GeV. The existence of FIPs is predicted by novel theoretical frameworks designed to address these fundamental questions. Moreover, tantalizing hints from astrophysical data provide compelling motivation for exploring this uncharted territory. This talk underscores the ongoing vibrancy of an experimental program committed to the discovery of FIPs, a pursuit that is guided by profound theoretical insights. The quest for FIPs presents a thrilling opportunity to reshape our understanding of the fundamental building blocks of Nature and rewrite the history of the Universe itself.
