Accessibility Statement
1. Accessibility Statement
The University of Graz is constantly striving to ensure that its website complies with the Web Accessibility Act (WZG), as amended, for the implementation of Directive (EU) 2016/2102 of the European Parliament and of the Council of October 26, 2016, on the accessibility of the websites and mobile applications of public sector bodies (Official Journal L 327 of December 2, 2016, p. 1).
This accessibility statement applies to the website www.uni-graz.at.
2. Status of Compliance with Requirements
The University of Graz is currently in the process of completely revamping its website—accessibility is already an integral part of the development process.
Therefore, the content regarding the assessment of (non-)accessible content will be subject to constant change in the near future.
3. Creation of this accessibility statement
This statement was created on May 10, 2023, and is continuously updated.
The assessment of the website’s compliance with the WZG for the implementation of the requirements of Directive (EU) 2016/2102 according to WCAG 2.0 at Conformity Level AA will be conducted by early March 2024 in the form of a self-assessment using the “think aloud” method with a large number of university staff members.
