On Monday, 25 April, a three-day Collaboration Meeting of the MPD Experiment at the NICA Facility will start. The ninth event of the series will be held in the hybrid format: online and offline in the Laboratory of High Energy Physics JINR.

The recent progress in the production of the MPD detector will be presented. The status of the production of the components of all major subsystems as well as their installation, commissioning and calibration schedule, recent challenges and possible solutions will be discussed. The schedule of the NICA complex construction and commissioning as well as plans for first beams will be provided. New developments in the performance studies for physics observables, carried out within the MPD Physics Working Groups will be presented, including discussion publication plans. Computing and software infrastructure will also be discussed.
