The 37th consortium meeting of the XMM-Newton Survey Science Centre (XMM-SSC) will be held from March 17-19, 2026 at the Leibniz-Institut für Astrophysik Potsdam (AIP), An der Sternwarte 16, 14482 Potsdam, Germany.

The XMM-SSC is an international consortium across several countries and was selected by ESA to facilitate exploiting XMM-Newton's survey capacities. The XMM-SSC and ESA teams develop the science analysis software suite and the serendipitous source catalogues. In preparation of the 5th catalogue generation, the 37th consortium meeting convenes consortium members, interested scientists from the consortium institutes, and ESA scientists to discuss XMM-Newton science and developments.

We look forward to seeing you in Potsdam.
