Note on accessibility

Universität Hamburg seeks to make its website, www.uni-hamburg.de, fully accessible to people with disabilities. This process is based on the Hamburg act on equal treatment for disabled persons (Hamburgisches Gesetz zur Gleichstellung behinderter Menschen, HmbGGbM) and the ordinance on barrier-free information technology (Barrierefreie-Informationstechnik-Verordnung, BITV 2.0).

The BITV-Test-Prüfverbund, an independent network of accessibility auditing organizations, is currently evaluating our web pages. Unfortunately, the audit process has not yet concluded. We will publish the results as soon as they become available to us.
