Note on accessibility
This note on accessibility applies to the Hamburg Research Academy website (www.hra-hamburg.de).
As a public office in accordance with Directive (EU) 2016/2102, our goal is to provide a fully accessible website in keeping with the provisions of the Hamburg act on equal treatment for disabled persons (Hamburgisches Behindertengleichstellungsgesetz, HmbBGG) as well as the regulation on establishing accessible information technology for people with disabilities (Hamburgische Barrierefreie Informationstechnik-Verordnung, HmbBITVO).
Current compliance
The accessibility requirements come from Section 1 HmbBITVO in conjunction with Section 3 subsections 1–4 and Section 4 of the Federal accessible information technology regulation (Barrierefreie Informationstechnik-Verordnung, BITV), adopted on the basis of Section 11 of the Hamburg act on equal treatment for disabled persons (Hamburgisches Behindertengleichstellungsgesetz, HmbBGG).
The Verification of compliance with the requirements is as of writing pending.
