Accessibility

This accessibility statement applies to the website www.dkfz.de. The German Cancer Research Center endeavors to make the website www.dkfz.de accessible in accordance with the national legislation implementing Directive (EU) 2016/2102 of the European Parliament and of the Council. The legal basis is the Disability Equality Act (BGG) and the Accessible Information Technology Ordinance (BITV) as amended.

A large part of the requirements of BITV 2.0 in the current version from summer 2019 have been implemented. The website is therefore largely compatible with the requirements of the BITV. We have also carried out an internal accessibility check. Improvements are continuously in progress.

This declaration was created on 22.09.2020.
