Abstract: I will give a (somewhat biased) overview of the current ideas for Dark Energy in String Theory; the insights they hope to give us into quantum gravity itself, their connections with experiments and observations, and the challenges that need to be overcome. I will then focus on some string-inspired scenarios for Dark Energy, in which simple coupled Dark Sectors help to overcome the challenges of vanilla constructions, with potentially observable consequences.
