Declaration on accessibility
We endeavor to make this website of the Leibniz Institute for Materials-Oriented Technologies - IWT barrier-free. The declaration on accessibility is required by the Bremen Equal Opportunities for Disabled Persons Act. The technical requirements for accessibility are set out in BITV 2.0.
This declaration on digital accessibility applies to the website of the Leibniz Institute for Materials-Oriented Technologies - IWT published at www.iwt-bremen.de.
How accessible is the website?
This website is only partially accessible. The requirements of BITV 2.0 are only partially fulfilled.
Which areas are not barrier-free?
This website is only partially accessible. The requirements of BITV 2.0 are only partially met.
Sub-areas that are not or not yet accessible:
1. Perceptibility
Information and relationships
Information, structure and relationships that are conveyed via the presentation cannot be determined by software and are not available as an alternative in text form.
Visual presentation
For the visual presentation of text blocks, there is no mechanism to allow foreground and background colors to be selected by the user, to limit the width to less than 80 characters, to not justify the text, to adjust the line spacing to at least 1.5 times within paragraphs, to scale up to 200 percent without assistive technology, and to do so in such a way that the reader does not have to scroll horizontally to read a line of text in a full-screen window.
2. Usability
Keyboard
Not all functionalities of the content can be operated via a keyboard interface without requiring a specific timing for individual keystrokes.
Position
There is no information about the user's position within a set of web pages.
Link purpose (pure link)
There is no mechanism to identify the purpose of each link by the link text alone.
Section headings
Section headings are only partially used to organize the content.
Notice
Target size
The size of the target for pointer input is not at least 44 by 44 CSS pixels.
Simultaneously available input mechanisms
Web content partially restricts the use of the input modalities available on a platform.
3. Comprehensibility
Unusual words
There is no mechanism to recognize specific definitions of words or phrases that are used in unusual or restricted ways, including idioms and jargon.
Abbreviations
There is no mechanism to recognize the spelled-out form or meaning of abbreviations.
Reading level
If, after the removal of proper names and titles, the text requires reading skills beyond low secondary school level, then there is no supplementary content or a version that does not require reading skills beyond low secondary school level.
Pronunciation
There is no mechanism to recognize the specific pronunciation of words when the meaning of the words - in context - is ambiguous if you do not know the pronunciation.
Help
There is no context-sensitive help.
Disproportionate load
Sections that are not designed to be accessible because it would be a disproportionate burden (BremBGG § 13 (5)):
Texts
Texts in plain language are available for the description of the institute and the navigation of the website. No other texts in plain language.
Due to their complexity, only some scientific texts can be presented in plain language. As a rule, they are aimed at a specialist audience with appropriate prior knowledge. In some areas, the use of relevant technical terms is due to the way the respective target groups are addressed and their prior scientific knowledge. This is the case, for example, with project descriptions.
Graphics with text
This website contains graphics with text.
The graphics are generally used to illustrate scientific processes and contexts that are described with the help of text. As a rule, an alt text is maintained for this purpose. Some of the infographics used are too extensive to provide an alternative text at the relevant point.
The verification of compliance with the requirements is based on a self-assessment carried out by Leibniz-IWT and the agency f7 up to and including January 15, 2025.
