The "Age Well Neighbourhoods" initiative is a significant step toward plugging gaps in senior services, starting with Toa Payoh.

Media release from Duke-NUS Medical School:

As Singapore prepares for a future where one in four citizens will be aged 65 or above by 2030, Assoc Prof Rahul Malhotra and Dr Jeremy Lim-Soh from the Duke-NUS Centre for Ageing Research and Education are looking at how neighbourhoods can better support ageing-in-place.

The "Age Well Neighbourhoods" initiative is a significant step toward plugging gaps in senior services, starting with Toa Payoh. However, effective support goes beyond infrastructure—it requires a shift toward "person-centric" care that respects the unique routines and aspirations of our seniors.

By integrating place-centric policies with a deeper understanding of individual needs, we can create communities where seniors don't just live, but truly thrive with dignity and purpose.

The result speaks for itself: rapid recovery, functioning transplants, discharge after a few days – without complications.

Media release from Univ.-Prof. Dr. med. univ. MBA Robert Öllinger:

Four kidney transplants in seven days – robotically!

What was an exception just a few years ago is increasingly becoming reality in Vienna.

At the Clinical Department of Transplantation of the Medical University of Vienna / the University Hospital AKH, ​​four transplants were performed using the DaVinci system within one week: two after living donation, two after post-mortem organ donation.

The result speaks for itself: rapid recovery, functioning transplants, discharge after a few days – without complications.

The dedicated nursing team led by Natalie Libera and the surgical team led by Jakob Eichelter and Robert Öllinger have the most experience in the German-speaking world and are driving a development that has the potential to sustainably change transplant surgery.

The crucial question is no longer whether robotic transplantation will be performed – but how quickly this method will become more widely established.

Also live on April 24, 2026, during the Long Night of Research.

A judgment is not the end of the process. In many cases, it is only the beginning.

Once a judgment becomes final, responsibility shifts to its execution.

Media release from Human Rights and the Rule of Law at the Council of Europe:

What happens after the European Court of Human Rights delivers a judgment, and how does it lead to real change in practice?

A judgment is not the end of the process. In many cases, it is only the beginning.

Once a judgment becomes final, responsibility shifts to its execution.

This relies on a shared dynamic:

• Respondent States take the necessary measures to remedy the violation and prevent similar cases

• The Committee of Ministers supervises the execution of judgments

• The process is supported through dialogue, technical input, and continuous exchange with national authorities

In practice, execution involves:

• Individual measures to ensure redress for the applicant

• General measures to address the root causes of violations

• Ongoing co-operation to support implementation over time

Execution is ultimately the responsibility of each Member State. But at the same time, it is a process built on partnership, aimed at identifying practical and sustainable solutions.

The latest annual report highlights both progress and complexity. The 949 cases closed by the Committee of Ministers in 2025 reflect more than procedural steps. They represent concrete changes in law, policy and practice, with a direct impact on people’s lives.

At the same time, many cases, especially those involving structural challenges, require sustained efforts, coordination and long-term engagement. This is where implementation becomes critical: the real impact of a judgment depends on what changes in practice.

Explore the full report to better understand how judgments translate into change in practice:

The winner of the German Cancer Prize 2026 in the category “Health Services Research” is Professor Dr. med. Jochen Schmitt

Media release from Innovationsausschuss (IA):

German Cancer Prize 2026

The German Cancer Prize has been awarded annually since 1986 for outstanding work in German-speaking countries in the following categories:

-Experimental basic oncological research

-Translational research

-Tumor diagnostics and treatment

-Health services research

The winner of the German Cancer Prize 2026 in the category “Health Services Research” is Professor Dr. med. Jochen Schmitt from TU Dresden as head of the WiZen project funded by the Innovation Committee.

The WiZen project aims to assess the quality of care in certified organ cancer centers compared to non-certified hospitals. Based on (GKV) statutory health insurance billing data and cancer registry data, it has been shown that patients in certified centers have a survival advantage.

With his research, Prof. Dr. med. Schmitt demonstrates how healthcare research can directly improve practice:

- Through the development of new care models

- Methodological groundwork

- Testing of new evidence-based forms of care for patients

The results from WiZen provide important insights into the quality of cancer treatments in certified centers compared to other clinics and give patients guidance in choosing a clinic.

-The resulting insights are highly relevant for those affected, service providers, payers, health policy and society as a whole.

The Innovation Committee congratulates Professor Dr. med. Jochen Schmitt and the WiZen project team on their recognition and their crucial contribution to healthcare research in Germany.

Media release from Helios Kliniken:

Biological aortic valves do not last indefinitely. If further intervention becomes necessary, the treatment decision requires a sound basis. This is precisely what the international REPEAT study is working on. This year's World Health Day focuses on strengthening science as the foundation for better health. This is also the aim of this study.

Helios participates in this through the Helios Health Institute. There, Helios consolidates clinical studies and health research. The institute supports research projects and works with healthcare data from everyday clinical practice to make medical findings applicable to patient care.

This is relevant for cardiology because the study addresses a specific question in patient care that has not yet been answered by a direct randomized controlled trial with long-term follow-up. The REPEAT trial aims to contribute to a more reliable data basis for future decisions regarding repeat interventions on biological aortic valves.

Prof. Dr. med. Michael A. Borger, PhD, Medical Director, Director of the University Clinic for Cardiac Surgery & Professor of Cardiac Surgery at the University of Leipzig, says:

"Our international collaboration shows how research can work across borders – and how we can jointly develop therapies that bring real long-term benefits to our patients"

APG network development plan until 2035: 9 billion euros for Austria's future – speed of network expansion is crucial.

Media release from Wolfgang Hattmannsdorfer, Federal Minister for Economic Affairs, Energy and Tourism:

Affordable and readily available energy will determine the future of our location.

Anyone who wants to produce competitively needs electricity that is secure, clean, and affordable. That's precisely why the grid development plan up to 2035 is so crucial.

What it's about:

A massive expansion of our electricity grid throughout Austria.

Stronger east-west connections so that wind and solar power from the east and storage capacity from the west can work together optimally.

New lines and substations so that businesses can grow and invest.

We are investing around 9 billion euros in network infrastructure. This sends a strong signal for Austria as a business location.

For every euro invested, 93 cents of additional value is created in the country, and around 90,000 jobs are secured or created.

At the same time, demand is increasing noticeably:

-More electromobility
-More industrial electrification
-More data centers

The network is thus becoming a crucial factor for business location.

Ultimately, network access determines whether a company invests in Austria or elsewhere.

We need to speed things up; projects must not be bogged down in bureaucratic processes for years.

Those who invest in networks today secure prosperity, jobs, and competitiveness in Austria tomorrow.

On March 26th, the anniversary of the developmental psychology counselling service for families with young children was celebrated in Berlin.

Prof. Dr. Sabine Walper, General Pedagogy and Educational Research:

25 years of Developmental psychological counseling!

On March 26th, we celebrated the anniversary of the developmental psychological counselling service for families with young children in Berlin - a key service for parents that was developed and established as an important component in various support systems even before the start of the Early Intervention Services.

We were able to delve deeper into Ute Ziegenhain's interesting retrospective during breaks and at the reception with Hellgard Rauh, who, as one of the very few female psychology professors at the time, did pioneering work in the developmental psychology of early childhood from the late 1970s onwards.

Gottfried Spangler, with his fascinating lecture from a bio-psycho-social perspective, illuminated the complex interplay of genetics, physiology, psychological predispositions and social context in early childhood, and I was able to discuss, against the background of familial change, the tasks involved in strengthening family relationships.

The final flourish before the reception was provided by the panel discussion of many renowned partners who highlighted progress in services for families in the early developmental phase of children, but also emphasized the demanding needs of highly stressed families who depend on particularly well-qualified professionals and effective, well-coordinated services.

Students in Rostock have reason to celebrate – the Rostock-Wismar student association, with support from the state, has created 152 new dormitory places for them.

Media release from Bettina Martin, Minister for Science, Culture, Federal and European Affairs:

Students in Rostock have reason to celebrate – the Rostock-Wismar student association, with support from the state, has created 152 new dormitory places for them. We celebrated the opening today on Max-Planck-Straße. A beautiful, welcoming extension – perfect for the students!

When the second phase of construction is completed in two years, Rostock will have more than 800 dormitory places available. Affordable housing is so important for an attractive place to study.

After all, a successful course of study also depends on a good social environment. Rostock has a lot to offer in this regard – thanks in part to the excellent work of the Rostock-Wismar Student Union.

Science Minister Bettina Martin say: "Affordable rents are a location factor and a matter of social justice when it comes to access to higher education. Students depend on affordable rents in order to be able to study successfully."

Media release from Ministry for Science, Culture, Federal and European Affairs of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern:

152 new dormitory places for the University of Rostock!

Today, the city and state, together with the Rostock-Wismar Student Union, opened a new student residence building.

This is the first phase of the new building extensions at the residential complex on Max-Planck-Straße. The second phase, scheduled for completion by 2028, will add another 126 places.

Approximately 30 million euros will be invested in the expansions. The state and federal governments are contributing around 16 million euros.

Alanya Education and Research Hospital:

As part of the events for Cancer Awareness Week from April 1st to 7th, the Alanya Training and Research Hospital opened an information stand at the hospital entrance to raise awareness of the importance of early detection and diagnosis.

On the occasion of today's event, Chief Physician Prof. Dr. Banu Karakuş Yılmaz said:

“We remain committed to educating the public about cancer types, symptoms, treatment methods, and prevention. Raising public awareness is one of the most effective measures in the fight against cancer. After cardiovascular diseases, cancer is one of the leading causes of death. However, I would like to emphasize that many cancers are treatable and, with early detection, even completely curable. Worldwide, prostate, lung, and colorectal cancers are most common in men, while breast, lung, and colorectal cancers are most common in women. Early detection is our strongest weapon in the fight against cancer. Many cancers, such as breast, cervical, and colorectal cancers, can be detected at an early stage thanks to regular screenings. This significantly increases treatment success rates. Remember: tomorrow could be too late. Early detection saves lives. We will continue to monitor your health and are always there for you.”

Six key legal institutions. Six women at the top.

In 2025, the Zurich legal system made a small piece of history: For the first time, six central institutions were simultaneously headed by women – the Justice and Home Affairs Directorate of the Canton of Zurich, the High Court of the Canton of Zurich, the Administrative Court of the Canton of Zurich, the Social Insurance Court of the Canton of Zurich, the Public Prosecutor's Office and the Zurich Bar Association.

In the short film “Democracy Talk – Focus on Law”, released yesterday for International Women’s Day, the six women discuss the role of their institutions with regard to the rule of law and democracy, and what motivates them to take on leadership roles.

Those portrayed in Sandra De Vito's film include government councilor Jacqueline Fehr and chief public prosecutor Susanne Leu.
