  The Run 2 data taking period of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in
years 2015-2018 has presented a great opportunity to search for physics beyond
the standard model (BSM). It will be followed by the Run 3 period starting in
2022, and by the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) era starting in late 2020s, where
the latter promises an unprecedented wealth of physics prospects due to very
high expected integrated luminosity and improved detector features. The ATLAS,
CMS and LHCb experiments pursued a rich physics program in Run 2, and are
already assessing the physics expectations at the HL-LHC era. This report
presents highlights from recent search results and HL-LHC studies on BSM
physics by the ATLAS, CMS and LHCb experiments. Examples will be shown from
model-independent generic searches, searches for supersymmetry, extended Higgs
sectors, and new exotic fermions and bosons.
