Accessibility Statement

The Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) is committed to making its Websites accessible, in accordance with the Web-Zugänglichkeits-Gesetz (WZG - BGBl. I. Nr. 59/2019 idgF).

This accessibility statement applies to https://www.ncp-ip.at/en.

 

Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with Conformance Level AA of the “Web Content Accessibility Guidelines – WCAG 2.1“ and the applicable European standard according to Directive (EU) 2016/2102 of the European Parliament and of the Council, due to the non-compliances listed below.

 

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reason(s):

  1. Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations
    • Success Criterion 2.4.3 (Focus Order):
      A cookie dialog is opened upon first visiting the website. Because this dialog is at the end of focus order, keyboard focus first lands “behind” this dialogue and thus is invisible. There is also no focus trap to keep users in the cookie dialog until it is dismissed.
    • Success Criterion 4.1.1 (Parsing):
      W3C-Validator reports multiple HTML validation errors.
  2. The content is not within the scope of the applicable legislation.
    • Older contents are available to download. These contents (e.g. PDF-Documents) were released before 23. September 2018 and are exempt from the Web-Zugänglichkeits-Gesetz.


Should you require accessible alternatives to the content on our website, please send an email to anregungen@ffg.at. We will try to make the content available to you in an appropriate manner.
