Different observations point us to physics beyond the Standard Model. One example is the baryon asymmetry in the Universe. After briefly summarizing the current experimental status, I will give an overview over possible theoretical models that could give an explanation for this observation. Hereby, one prominent example is the mechanism of leptogenesis. In order to further assess the question which model is realized in nature, it is a powerful method to combine both cosmology and collider physics. Especially with respect to the next run of the LHC, I will discuss whether it is possible to test or falsify leptogenesis.
