<H2>ING Development Programme</H2>
<p>
The table below summarises the instruments currently available on ING telescopes,
new instruments proposed, and their funding status.
<p>
Of particular interest is the number of new instruments externally funded
by groups wishing to develop and use the ING telescopes. This is an eloquent testimonial
to the strength of these facilities.
