Accessibility

This website has been designed to meet international accessibility requirements and has been brought into compliance with the WCAG 2.1 (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) Level AA standard.

Accessibility means that a website is designed and developed so that it can be used by all people, including the visually impaired, hearing-impaired, those with limited mobility or those who use screen readers or other assistive technologies. Accessibility includes the use of contrasting colours, alternative texts for images, logical content structure, keyboard navigation and other similar features. In addition, it is possible to improve the accessibility of a website by configuring the browser or operating system settings on your computer. You can find an overview of our main accessibility tools below.

Keyboard navigation

You can navigate the website using only the keyboard, using Tab to move forward and Shift + Tab to move back. The active element is indicated by a colour change and a box around it. Press Enter to open the selected link.

Magnifying content

Web browsers

To enlarge the content on-screen, we recommend using the built-in functionalities of your browser. In all popular web browsers, it is possible to zoom in and out by holding down the Ctrl key (Cmd key in OS X) and pressing either the + or – key. You can also zoom in or out by holding down the Ctrl key while moving the mouse scroll wheel. You can return to normal size by pressing Ctrl and 0 (zero) simultaneously.

Other programs

All major operating systems include settings to magnify the content displayed on the screen.

In Windows 10, you can find a program called Magnifier by clicking on the ‘Start’ or ‘Search’ menu button on the bottom left, typing Magnifier (the first few letters are enough) and pressing Enter. A small window opens in which everything is zoomed in. By default, the program keeps track of the position of the mouse cursor.

On Apple computers, to use the magnifier, navigate as follows: Apple menu > System Preferences > Accessibility (or Universal Access) > Zoom.

Using a screen reader

Screen readers deliver the content on your computer screen by voice or in braille. This tool is primarily designed for the visually impaired.

The content on this website has been created according to screen reader standards. This means that any type of visual content can be delivered in a different format. For example, images are accompanied by textual descriptions, videos are accompanied by a description of what happens in the video and website menus are logically structured.
