ETIP SNET

ETIP SNET Governance

In order to have a wide representation of stakeholders and offer agile and efficient operation, the Management and Governance structure of ETIP SNET is organised as follows:

  • Governing Board (GB) steers the platform where stakeholder associations send representatives
  • Executive Committee (ExCo) provides executive support to the Governing Board and acts as facilitator to drive the processes, executes the yearly WGs Action Plans approved by the GB and  prepares decisions to be taken by the Governing Board;
  • Permanent Working Groups (WG) (or ad-hoc WGs or Task Forces upon need) opened to experts in any relevant sectors to provide their expertise to achieve the aim of ETIP SNET and giving technical input to EC and to the Governing Board;
  • National Stakeholders Coordination group (NSCG) to provide a sounding board and exchange platform for national R&I stakeholders in the area of energy systems and networks. Its purpose and goal are to support the implementation of SET-Plan Action 4 on Integrated and Flexible Energy Systems;
  • Secretariat/Support Team to support and manage ETIP SNET in its daily functioning, its production of publications and its mission of R&I strategic planning.
  • ETIP SNET Ambassadors to present the ETIP SNET using all type of communication materials and info provided by the Secretariat and bring forward the messages approved by the ETIP SNET GB.
