How can two major organisations dedicated to ground-based astronomy work together to maximise the science impact of their astronomical surveys? This was the topic for the Coordinated Surveys of the Southern Sky symposium, jointly organised by ESO and the Square Kilometre Array Observatory between 27 February and 3 March 2023. The aims of the symposium were to raise awareness across the respective communities of survey capabilities and to build liaisons in preparation for synergetic surveys, as well as for multi-wavelength follow-up programmes.
