The Thales Scottish Technology Prize is a collaborative initiative in Scotland that supports Scotland’s engineering heritage by developing and consolidating its relationships with some of the world’s leading centres of academic innovation.

This initiative allows universities to find out about Thales and provides the opportunity to win a significant amount of money with no commitment and no loss or threat to IP.

The theme of this year’s prize is product engineering, which seeks to identify new technologies to enable new products or develop existing ones. The competition invites researchers to submit details of projects that will benefit both the university and Thales, for a substantial first place cash prize of £20,000 for the institution as well as a personal prize of £2,500.

In addition to the researcher prize, this year Thales is pleased to announce the addition of an undergraduate category. By explaining how their final year project relates to Thales business, undergraduates have the chance to win a personal 1st prize of £1,000 and £500 for the runner up.
