Why a research foundation for endometriosis?

The World Endometriosis Research Foundation (WERF™) was founded in 2006 as the first global
charitable organisation with an aim to
foster research into endometriosis

WERF's mission is to improve the overall knowledge about endometriosis and its treatment.

To do so, it provides a platform to attract sufficient funding from a variety of sources to:

a) Facilitate and carry out well powered, international multi-centre trials
b) Support specific research projects investigating disease mechanisms.

WERF™ is a joint initiative between the ASRM, ESHRE and the World Endometriosis Society, and it collaborates with professional societies and endometriosis support organisations across the globe.

Research is needed because endometriosis is a big problem!

Having to battle daily debilitating symptoms prevents millions of women to fulfill their dreams of finishing an education, to maintain a career, to have children - and sometimes to maintain relationships. In addition there are significant socio-economic impacts.

WERF's vision

  • The vision is one day where no woman is crippled by endometriosis
  • The vision is one day where no woman is prevented from having children due to endometriosis.

WERF's solution

To invest in much needed research into endometriosis so that early diagnostics and treatments can be discovered to prevent endometriosis and enable millions of women to get on with their lives.

The solution is a global platform where:

  • collaborative reseach is carried out between international centres;
  • datasets are shared;
  • encouraging results lead to further research; and
  • strict protocols are enforced to ensure research is high quality.

and where results can be translated into viable treatments to provide a solution for those affected by endometriosis.

This is what the World Endometriosis Research Foundation is about.

SUCCESS in these areas may herald a new era in meaning medical research for endometriosis.

SUCCESS in these areas may mean that women with endometriosis will be able to entertain more than one dream...


Please help make it happen

Research takes time. Just like nurturing a flower to bloom. But throughout that process a flower - or a foundation - needs regular feeding.

In the case of a foundation it relies on sponsors

In fact, if every visitor to this site contributed just that - just now - we'd be well on our way with more than one research project already. Can you afford that?
