A generous gift was made to the University of Canterbury by the late Dr G B Battersby in 1987 to establish a trust fund “for the purpose of the advancement of learning in the computer field in New Zealand”. The income from the trust fund is added to an annual grant from Trimble Navigation N Z Ltd. The Trimble grant has been given in “recognition of the long service provided by the late Dr Battersby to the University and to the computing profession”.
