Abstract

The Southern Wide-field Gamma-ray Observatory (SWGO) Collaboration is
currently engaged in design and prototyping work towards the realisation of
this future gamma-ray facility. SWGO will complement CTA and the existing
ground-particle based-detectors of the Northern Hemisphere (HAWC and LHAASO)
with a very wide field and high duty cycle view of the southern sky. Here I
summarise the status of the project and plans for the future, including
expectations for sensitivity and science targets as well as the status of the
site search and technological developments.
