Abstract
In the last five years, the operation of the LEP accelerator has provided the HEP community with a unique opportunity to search for physics beyond the standard model at the typical energy scale of GeV. Although most of the data analysis has been focused on the traditional sectors of Higgs and gravity-mediated SUSY physics, a considerable effort has been dedicated by ALEPH, DELPHI L3 and OPAL to the search for more exotic physics scenarios, which go from gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking, to compositeness, to gravitational extra-dimensions. This talk reviews the latest experimental results on a selection of final states which are believed to be of particular interest for exotic physics or which present some anomaly in the data with respect to standard model expectations.
