Accessibility

This website has been built and compiled to comply with the WCAG 2.0 AA web content accessibility guidelines. This means that certain technical tools and content design principles have been used to make the website content accessible to many people with disabilities. These may include blindness and visual impairment, deafness and hearing impairment, learning difficulties, cognitive disabilities, mobility impairments, speech impairments, light sensitivity, and combinations of these.

In addition, accessibility can be improved by adjusting the browser and operation system settings of your computer. Below is an overview of the main tools.

Keyboard navigation

This website can be navigated using the keyboard, via the Tab key. Each press moves the focus to the next element on the page. The currently active element is highlighted with a box. To activate a highlighted link, press the Enter key.

Zooming content

Browsers

To enlarge content, we first recommend using your web browser’s built-in zoom functionality.

All popular web browsers allow you to zoom in and out by holding down the Ctrl key (the Cmd key in the OS X operating system) while pressing the “+” or “–” key. Another convenient option is to use the mouse: hold down the Ctrl key and use the mouse scroll wheel. To return to the default size, press Ctrl+0.

Other programs

All common operating systems include settings to enlarge on-screen content.

In Windows, you will find the Magnifier program by clicking the Start menu button at the bottom left corner, typing “Magnifier” (even just a few first letters will be enough) and pressing Enter. A small window opens, displaying everything larger. By default, the program follows the mouse cursor.

In Apple computers, you can enable the zoom by navigating to the Apple menu > System Preferences > Accessibility (or Universal Access) > Zoom.

Browser extensions

Various browser extensions are available that provide additional zoom features beyond the browser’s built-in functionality. For example, Zoom Page for Firefox, which allows you to zoom the whole page or just the text, or Zoom for Google Chrome.

Using a screen reader

A screen reader is software that attempts to interpret the information displayed on the computer screen and present it in other forms, such as spoken output or audio descriptions. It is primarily an assistive tool for the visually impaired.

The content on this website has been created in accordance with accessibility standards compatible with screen readers, ensuring that all types of visual content can be conveyed in

alternative formats. For example, images have textual descriptions; videos are accompanied by descriptions of what is happening on screen; the layout and order of the structural elements are designed to support screen-reader navigation and allow the information to be consumed in a logical sequence.

Popular screen readers:

JAWS (Windows)
VoiceOver (free built-in screen reader for OS X)
NVDA (free screen reader for Windows)
SystemAccess (Windows)
