Abstract

An overview is provided of the scientific goals of the Magellanic Cloud component of the STScI Directors Discretionary UV initiative ULLYSES, together with the complementary spectroscopic survey XShootU (VLT/Xshooter) and other ancillary datasets. Together, ULLYSES and XShootU permit the first comprehensive, homogeneous study of wind densities and velocities in metal-poor massive stars, plus UV/optical spectroscopic libraries for population synthesis models and a large number of interstellar sight-lines towards the Magellanic Clouds.
