The JEM network currently enlists 20 nodes who are characterized by their main role as eContent stakeholder for the area of matematics, physics or statistics education.

The technology developer partners include the leading European groups for producing advanced learning software solutions and ca offer a wide range of ICT tools to enhance mathematics teaching. They include University of Helsinki, Technical University of Eindhoven, Jacobs University and NAG Ltd, with a long tradition in research on representation and software for the electronic communication of mathematics. The commercial Maths for More together with Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya has produced sophisticated systems for doing athematics on the computers, with a special attention to their usability in education. University of Birmingham offers a widely used software system for mathematics assessment, which generates random exercises and automatically grades the students' answers. RWTH Aachen University, Technische Univeristät Berlin and ISN Oldenburg offer full learning environments for teaching applications of mathematics in Satistics and Physics. Advanced multilingual software is the expertise of Chalmers University of Technology.

Several partners are experienced authors of online educational material for mathematics and their institutions offer online couses and distance education. Universiteit van Amsterdam has a wide experience in using ICT?supported courseware. Three JEM partners represent purely virtual universities: the German FernUniversität Hagen, the Spanish UNED National Distance University of Education, and the Catalonian Universitat Oberta de Catalunya. All of them deliver instruction purely online. Universidade de Lisboa, Buskerud University College, and Aristotle University of Thessaloniki are traditional higher education institution where the introduction of ICT support s taking place gradually.

Whilst all partners have specific dissemination channels, consisting of a network of students, or organizations or professional societies, the JEM network also includes the commercial publisher Liguori Editori and the major international academic society of professonal mathematicians, the European Mathematical Society.
