Medicine has a lot to catch up on. Here is our plan.

1. Autumn 2026We are here
   Now

   the movement starts

   Women step forward

   • Women in Vienna and far beyond sign up as founding members.
   • Period, our non-profit association, is founded in Vienna, so that women keep control of their samples.
   • Our first study goes to an independent ethics committee.
2. 2027–2028Next
   200

   women · 12 months · every period

   A year of periods, in detail

   • 200 women in Vienna share a small sample from every period for a whole year.
   • We learn what dried and liquid period blood can each reveal, and set a first baseline.
   • We publish what we find, and the women who took part hear it first.
3. 2029–2031Then
   2,000

   women · 5+ cities

   From Vienna to five cities

   • Partner labs in five or more cities bring the study closer to more women.
   • 2,000 women, ready to take part in new research on the conditions that matter most to them.
   • Research teams apply to work with the samples, and the women have a say in every study.
4. 2031 and beyondOur vision
   5,000+

   women · followed over years

   The world’s largest menstrual biobank

   • Samples every quarter, so research can follow women over years, not just one moment.
   • How the cycle changes with age, illness and treatment, finally visible in the data.
   • Researchers and companies, including pharma, can apply for access on terms decided with the women who give.
