Users' Group Meeting #18: Invitation from UG chair to contact them

The XMM Users' Group (UG) will be holding its yearly meeting this coming May 11^th and 12^th, at ESAC. As is usual, the UG welcomes all comments and suggestions on any relevant aspect of the XMM-Newton operations and future direction. You may send these either directly to me, or if you prefer to any member of the UG.

I would like to note the forthcoming meeting in Rome, "The X-ray Universe 2017". This symposium will provide a showcase for results, discoveries and expectations from current and future X-ray missions.

Finally, regarding the announcement of AO-17 expected later this year, I draw attention to the opportunity for applications under a new category of observing proposals, "The Multi-Year Heritage Programmes". The aim of which is to encourage visionary programmes which would not otherwise be likely to emerge because of the time constraints within a single allocation cycle. Details will be given in the AO.

Martin Ward, UG Chair
