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.
