This accessibility statement applies to the u:find website under the domain https://ufind.univie.ac.at/en

Status of compliance with the requirements

Due to the aspects that are not compliant listed below, this website is partially compliant with standard AA as specified in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 in accordance with the applicable harmonised European standard European Standard EN 301 549 V2.1.2 (2018-08).

Parts of the website that are not fully accessible

a) Aspects that are not compliant with the accessibility regulations

These aspects that are not compliant will be resolved in the next development stage.

b) Disproportionate burden

Parts of the website that are in other languages are not clearly marked as such (3.1.2 Language of Parts). Texts are entered in old IT systems that are not being developed any further and that offer no possibility of entering HTML tags.

Therefore, resolving the associated accessibility issues would impose a disproportionate burden as specified in article 5 of the Directive (EU) 2016/2102.
