For 66 years now, only women have been taking contraceptives – the "pill." There is no equivalent for men. Now, the research consortium Contraception.MS aims to investigate new approaches to non-hormonal contraceptive methods for both sexes. The Federal Ministry for Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) is providing three million euros for this purpose. With the funding commitment, the team of experts from Münster and Hamburg explains the focus of their work.
