The volunteer SOLAS Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) is responsible for providing scientific guidance to and overseeing the development, planning and implementation of the SOLAS project, including communication of ongoing SOLAS activities and encouraging the publication and dissemination of SOLAS science results. Furthermore, the SOLAS SSC encourages national governments, as well as regional and international funding agencies, to support the implementation of core SOLAS research and the achievement of SOLAS goals.
