With the establishment and maturation of the experimental programs searching for New Physics with sizeable couplings at the LHC, there is an increasing interest in the broader particle and astroparticle community for exploring the physics of light and feebly-interacting particles (FIPs) as a paradigm complementary to a New Physics sector at the TeV scale and beyond.
After an introduction about the current plans for searching for FIPs at CERN within the Physics Beyond Colliders activity, I will focus on the SHADOWS project recently proposed at the CERN North Area.
