SUSY Searches with Taus at the LHC

The supersymmetric partner of the tau lepton, the stau, is predicted to be relatively light in a range of SUSY models, and may be a key for dark matter. This talk presents recent ATLAS and CMS results from proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 $fb^{-1}$ and 35.9 $fb^{-1}$ delivered by the LHC and recorded by the ATLAS and CMS detector respectively in 2015 and 2016, to search for direct stau pair production, and indirect stau production mediated by other SUSY particles.
