Cresset Biomolecular Discovery has launched an access programme for academic users of its range of chemistry software tools.
The programme provides academic users with a range of ways to access Cresset's products, including a software bursary programme, free training licences for academic courses, as well as low-cost academic group licences and free downloads for some of the company's products.
Cresset's academic access programme will offer several options to academic researchers, educators and students.
The company will offer free one-year named user licences for its desktop products (Fieldstere, Fieldalign and Fieldtemplater) to any post-graduate, PhD and post-doctoral students enrolled in a degree course.
Students can apply to Cresset with a description of the project and the intended use of the software.
Free licences will include upgrades but not technical support.
The licences can be renewed while the student remains enrolled in a degree programme.
Short-term free licences for Cresset tools may be available for university course training and teaching purposes.
Cresset also offers site licences for academic training centres and can provide free tutorial materials to support the use of the software in a training/teaching environment.
A low-cost, one-year licence for Cresset products for academic teams of up to five members of the same lab group is available.
Academic group licences can be managed and updated centrally and are supplied with maintenance and technical support.
