About Us

Who we are

ETP is an independent partnership of 14 Scottish universities, engaged in world-class energy research and innovation.

We are the largest academic energy research partnership in Europe, promoting increased levels of collaboration between universities and industry to deliver unparalleled R&I capability across a range of energy technologies.

In January 2025, the Energy Technology Partnership (ETP) strategically integrated with the Scottish Research Partnership in Engineering (SRPe) to form SPEERI, the Scottish Partnership in Energy and Engineering Research & Innovation. ETP and SRPe are recognised by key stakeholders across academia, industry, public sector and Scottish Government as two critical partnerships in Scotland’s innovation ecosystem, and the integrated entity of SPEERI builds on the strong history of individual delivery and collaboration between the two.

What we want to achieve

Our vision is to build on the existing areas of excellence and collaborative working to ensure that Scotland remains a globally competitive driving force in energy research and innovation.
