2. The SC develops and updates SmartGrids research agendas, including priorities looking at 2035 and beyond, gaining endorsement to them of the full Smart Grid Technology Platform constituency.
3. The SC monitors the implementation of the SmartGrids R&D agenda and suggest corrections, if necessary
4. The SC leverages successful SmartGrids technology working groups for preparation of new R&D agendas
5. The SC maintains a close link with the full Smart Grid Technology Platform constituency by SmartGrids General Assemblies
6. The SC sets up robust processes for mandating and renewing the SG ETP steering committee constituency, its president and its supporting secretariat and experts including their funding.
