DESCRIPTION:\n    In analyzing data from dark matter direct detection expe
 riments\, usually the Standard Halo Model with a Maxwellian velocity distr
 ibution is assumed. However\, very little is known about the dark matter v
 elocity distribution\, and this results in significant uncertainty in inte
 rpreting direct dark matter detection data. In this talk I will present tw
 o different approaches to address this problem. In the first part of my ta
 lk I will discuss astrophysics independent methods\, focusing on the consi
 stency of the inelastic scattering interpretation of the DAMA annual modul
 ation signal and its tension with the bound from XENON100. In the second p
 art\, I will discuss how to use information from kinematical data on the M
 ilky Way to constrain the properties of the dark matter phase space distri
 bution\, based on assumptions motivated by the results of N-body simulatio
 ns. Finally\, I will discuss the impact of astrophysical uncertainties on 
 the interpretation of direct detection data.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/
