	Discovery Edition 3
	Discovery in action

Lack of funding should not mean poor quality research

What if you are doing your research within an organisation, institution or indeed country that simply cannot afford quality statistical analysis tools? VSNi recognises this problem and is doing something about it.

Stewart Andrews, VSNi CEO says, "The idea of a free GenStat version for scientists in developing countries had been discussed for a while and GenStat Discovery Edition 1 was released in 2002, thanks greatly to the efforts of Roger Stern at Reading University and colleagues, Parin Kurji and Ric Coe, at the University of Nairobi, and the World Agroforestry Centre, (ICRAF) in Kenya."

"I have been waiting for years for my university to find the money to get me statistical software for my teaching. This free GenStat offer comes as blessing and an answer to my prayers. Thank you so much."
Michael Francis, Papua New Guinea University of Technology

Discovery now has over 3000 users in 85 countries, including distributors in 20 African countries. Click on Discovery 3 for more information.

Government Chief Scientific Adviser; Professor Sir David King comments on Discovery

"Making advanced technologies accessible to scientists in the developing world is always a challenge; I applaud the objectives of this project as an innovative approach to make a contribution to international development by providing ready access to the fruits of UK public sector research investment."
