Special Topic Prizes - special topic prizes sponsored by industrial and research partners who are searching for innovative solutions in certain satnav related fields - awarded for the first time in 2007 with the aim of better involving the competition s sponsors in its overall theme. They are also intended as a format encouraging joint realisation of the winning idea by the winner and the sponsor. - in 2008, 80% of all participants took advantage of the opportunity to submit their ideas for both regional evaluation and consideration for one of the special topic prizes. - entrants who also submit their innovations for one of the special topic prizes are twice as likely to be nominated. As the example of 2008 triple winner Sci-Tech Systems shows, it is possible for a participant to be nominated as a regional winner, a special topic winner, and as the overall winner, the GALILEO Master.
