Overview of Strategic Themes

SRPe was established in 2016 under five strategic themes aligning the key priority areas of opportunity and challenge with the research strengths of the Scottish universities. The Energy theme was delivered by the Energy Technology Partnership (ETP). Our strategic themes and priorities are driven by the potential for socio-economic impact based on industry needs, national-level economic growth opportunities and challenges for society today and in the future

Now SRPe and ETP are integrated under SPEERI the engineering themes have carried forward alongside six energy strategic themes. The four SPEERI engineering themes are;

  • Advanced Manufacturing

  • Engineering for Health & Care

  • Infrastructure & Environment

  • Robotics & Autonomous Systems

Each theme is supported by thematic research communities comprised of leading academics from across the SPEERI partner university network. The academics that work collaboratively under each theme are a national strategic research resource that provides expertise to government and industry, as well as to the wider UK and international research communities.
