SPEERI was established in January 2025 following an extensive consultation process with the 14 Scottish academic partner institutions that form the core of our SPEERI network.

SPEERI has been formed by the integration of the Scottish Research Partnership in Engineering (SRPe) and the Energy Technology Partnership (ETP), representing two critical partnerships in Scotland’s innovation ecosystem. This integrated entity will now share resources and effort, and builds on the strong history of individual delivery and collaboration between the two. The collaboration now allows us to create greater impact that supports our mission to ensure that Scotland remains a globally competitive driving force in energy and engineering research & innovation.

The ETP and SRPe brands will be maintained due to the wide recognition within the innovation and academic partnership landscape where both ETP and SRPe have been supporting the sector for over 10 years.
