Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1)<\/a> at conformity level AA.<\/p>\nMuch of the content on our website is already structured in such a way that it can be used without barriers. In the design, we pay attention to a clear structure, comprehensible navigation and the use of technical standards that also enable use with aids such as screen readers or alternative input methods.<\/p>\n
However, we are aware that not all pages and functions are yet completely barrier-free. We are constantly working to identify and remove existing barriers. Our aim is to provide all visitors with unrestricted access to the DAI’s information and services.<\/p>\n
Embedded YouTube videos<\/h3>\n
This website includes videos embedded from YouTube. Ensuring the accessibility of these embedded videos (for example through captions or audio descriptions) is currently a work in progress and will be improved step by step.<\/p>\n
Map services<\/h3>\n
To display location-based information, our website makes partial use of interactive map services (e.g., for showing locations or planning routes). Due to the technical characteristics of these externally embedded services and the frequently changing data they contain, it is currently not fully possible to ensure a completely accessible or low-barrier implementation of these maps.<\/p>\n
Contact and feedback<\/h3>\n
If you encounter any barriers or have suggestions for improvement, we look forward to receiving your feedback. Please contact us by:<\/p>\n
