The Core Programme (CP) of the INTEGRAL mission is defined as the portion of the scientific observing programme covering the guaranteed time observations for the PI collaborations and other members of the INTEGRAL Science Working Team. During the first two years of the mission, the guaranteed observing time uses 35% (year 1) and 30% (year 2) of the total annual observing time (~26.6x106s per year). The Core Programme consists of three elements: a deep exposure of the Galactic central radian, regular (weekly) scans of the Galactic plane and pointed observations. This paper describes the current status of the INTEGRAL Core Programme and summarizes the key elements.
