The jury was spoilt for choice: the four finalists' entries came from a wide variety of application fields and were excellently prepared. The only decisive factor in choosing the winner was what the jury considered to be the better chance of winning the overall prize. On 23th and 24th September 2009, the chairmen of the regional expert juries and the special prizes will now meet near London to determine the overall winner "Galileo Master 2009". We will keep our fingers crossed for our contribution from Baden-Württemberg.
