Abstract	The Galactic bulge region is a rich host of variable X-ray and gamma-ray point sources. Since AO-3 we are monitoring about 140 of them with one hexagonal pattern about every 3 days, whenever it is visible by INTEGRAL. Due to the high scientific return and in order to preserve the continuity with respect to past observations of this ever-changing region, we propose to continue our successful program. Our main aim is to monitor and actively report on any (transient) activity; in the long run the program will provide inputs about the soft and hard-X-ray (transient) population, as well as on the accretion regimes in the various types of binary systems. Because of the new format since AO-7 and as a service to the scientific community, the observations are to be made public. We intend to make the IBIS/ISGRI and JEM-X quick-look results publicly available through the web as soon as possible after the data are made available, so that rapid follow-up by the community is possible.

Mission Description	The INTEGRAL (International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory) mission, launched by the European Space Agency (ESA) on October 17, 2002, was designed to study high-energy phenomena in the universe. INTEGRAL was operating until february 2025 and it was equipped with three high-energy instruments: the Imager on Board the INTEGRAL Satellite (IBIS), the Spectrometer on INTEGRAL (SPI), and the JEM-X (Joint European Monitor for X-rays). Its Optical Monitoring Camera (OMC) provided optical V-band magnitude measurements, complementing the high-energy observations.
