  The Inert Doublet Model (IDM) is one of the simplest extensions of the
Standard Model that can provide a viable dark matter (DM) candidate. Despite
its simplicity, it predicts a versatile phenomenology both for cosmology and
for the Large Hadron Collider. We briefly summarize the status of searches for
IDM dark matter in direct DM detection experiments and the LHC, focusing on the
impact of the latter on the model parameter space. In particular, we discuss
the consequences of the Higgs boson discovery as well as those of searches for
dileptons accompanied by missing transverse energy during the first LHC Run and
comment on the prospects of probing some of the hardest to test regions of the
IDM parameter space during the 13 TeV Run.
