Neutrino telescopes

RESUME

Currently several neutrino telescopes around the world are under construction or taking data. Their aim is to detect neutrinos of cosmic origin with energies above ~10 GeV, which would allow to identify cosmic hadron accelerators - the sources of cosmic rays. Another subject is the indirect dark matter search. The talk will introduce the concept of neutrino telescopes and then give a status of the most important projects. Results of various physics analyses will be presented and the potential of future projects will be discussed.
