BUDAPEST, HU / ACCESS Newswire / June 18, 2026 / Building on the success of its inaugural edition, the award continues to recognise outstanding journalism that contributes to public understanding of key health issues and fosters informed discussion across Europe. The initiative is organised by Semmelweis University, Hungary's leading medical and health sciences institution, in partnership with Gedeon Richter, a Hungary-based, innovation-driven specialty pharmaceutical company.
Entries are invited in two categories: Women's Health and Pharmaceutical Strategies and Innovation, the latter placing particular emphasis on cardiovascular therapies. The organisers welcome high-quality reporting that sheds light on pressing or underrepresented health topics, addresses stigma, and supports improved awareness and treatment.
The first edition drew significant international attention, with close to 70 submissions from more than 20 European countries. Articles published in prominent outlets such as The Times, The Guardian, La República, and Süddeutsche Zeitung were among those entered, highlighting the award's broad reach and relevance.
Eligibility remains unchanged for the extended deadline. Submitted articles must have been published between March 1, 2025, and March 31, 2026. Each applicant may submit up to two pieces, with a maximum of one entry per category. Submissions should be provided as scanned copies (for print), publicly accessible links (for online content), or screenshots in the case of paywalled articles. All materials must be in English or accompanied by an English translation, alongside the original version.
Applications can be submitted via the official website:

An expert jury will assess entries based on journalistic excellence, depth of research, originality, societal impact, and clarity of communication.
The total prize fund amounts to €45,000, with awards granted in both categories: €10,000 for first place, €7,500 for second, and €5,000 for third. The winners will be announced in the final week of July 2026.

GoodData.AI Launches the Agentic Serving Plane, a New Category of Enterprise Data Infrastructure for AI Agents10.11.2026 15:30:00 CET | Press Release
SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / November 10, 2026 / GoodData.AI, the open agentic analytics platform, today launched the Agentic Serving Plane, a governed execution layer designed for the high-concurrency, context-rich data workloads created by AI agents. The Agentic Serving Plane sits between enterprise data platforms and the applications, analytics experiences and agents that consume them. It provides workload serving, business semantics, contextual grounding, access control, and AI execution services through a common governed layer. The current enterprise data infrastructure was designed primarily for humans: occasional queries, predictable workloads, and access by known users. AI agents operate differently. A single business task can generate tens or hundreds of short-lived data operations as an agent investigates, reasons, and decides what to ask next. When many agents operate simultaneously, intermittent human querying becomes continuous, high-concurrency agentic demand. Ag
