Accessibility

Declaration on Accessibility

The Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Science endeavors to design the website in accordance with the applicable accessibility regulations. We are guided by the Disability Equality Act (BGG) and the Barrier-Free Information Technology Ordinance (BITV 2.0).

This declaration on accessibility applies to the website https://www.mis.mpg.de/.

Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with accessibility requirements due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below.

No full accessibility

Archived press releases, news and other articles: Articles of all kinds that have already been archived will not be subsequently revised for accessibility

Exceptions to the scope of accessibility regulations

The following non-accessible content on this website does not fall under the scope of our accessibility requirements:

Embedded (third-party) content (e.g. YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn)

Further measures to improve the accessibility of our website

The Max-Planck-Institute of Mathematics in the Sciences is continuously working to improve their website. However, due to the extensive amount of existing materials, not all content and services have yet been made digitally accessible. We strive to make the website as accessible as possible and to ensure it is usable for everyone. To achieve this, we follow the principles of the WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines):

Perceptibility:

Many images have alternative texts in German and English
Elements of the website are distinguished by sufficient contrast from the background
Responsive web design allows flexible screen orientations and sizes
Color is not the only means of conveying information
Font size can be adjusted

Operability:

There are no keyboard traps
Flashing is avoided
The title describes the topic and purpose
Pages are accessible through various methods
Headings and descriptive labels explain the topic or purpose
Labels contain visible text

Comprehensibility:

Many contents are offered in both, German and English
Focus does not lead to context change
Input does not lead in context change
Navigation is built on consistency
Elements are labeled consistently

Robustness:

Website works across various devices and web browsers
Responsive web design enables smooth mobile usage
Extensive, regular testing ensures reliable functionality
