Abstract	The Large & Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC & SMC) represent an exceptional opportunity to study the evolution of X-ray binaries (XRB) under very different conditions to those in the Milky Way. The Clouds are close enough for the individual sources to be detected, identified & studied, whilst presenting diverse environments in terms of metallicity and tidal effects. In addition, the population as a whole is possibly greater than the comparable Milky Way population so it provides an invaluable test-bed for accretion physics & binary evolution. This programme will carry out regular monitoring of the SMC to locate new transient pulsar systems and to continue exploring the ~100 known & suspected HMXB systems.

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.
