ERPem, a consortium involving the University of Edinburgh, Heriot-Watt University and Edinburgh Napier University, is organised into six Joint Research Institutes (JRIs) dedicated to world-class research, innovation and education in engineering and mathematical science.

Joint Research Institutes
The Edinburgh Collaborative of Subsurface Science and Engineering (ECOSSE) JRI combines expertise from the School of GeoSciences at the University of Edinburgh, the Institute of Petroleum Engineering at Heriot-Watt University, the British Geological Survey and the Scottish Universities Environmental Research Centre.	The Maxwell Institute for Mathematical Sciences JRI brings together within a single body the research activities of the University of Edinburgh's School of Mathematics and the Department of Mathematics and Department of Actuarial Mathematics & Statistics at Heriot-Watt University.
The Signal & Image Processing (SIP) JRI is a joint venture between the Institute for Digital Communications (IDCOM) & the Centre for Communication Interface (CCIR) at the University of Edinburgh, and the Vision Image and Signal Processing laboratory (VISP) & the Oceans Systems Laboratory (OSL) at Heriot-Watt University.	The Energy JRI brings together engineers and scientists from the Institute for Energy Systems at the University of Edinburgh and the Energy Academy at Heriot-Watt University.
The Institute for Integrated Systems (IIS) JRI brings together teams from the Institute for Integrated Micro and Nano Systems (IMNS) at the University of Edinburgh, the UK Astronomy Technology Centre & the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences at Heriot-Watt University.	The Civil & Environmental Engineering (CEE) JRI brings together teams from the Institute for Infrastructure and Environment (IIE) at the University of Edinburgh, the School of the Built Environment at Heriot-Watt University and the School of Engineering and the Built Environment at Edinburgh Napier University.
