Accessibility is not a technical footnote for us but part of the welcome: this website should be usable by everyone — regardless of impairment, age, device or assistive technology.
Scope
This statement applies to the website of the ESG Bielefeld. It does not cover our buildings, events or printed material — for questions beyond this website, reach us via the contact page.
Our commitment
The ESG Bielefeld wants to be an open meeting place for all — and that starts with its own website. We understand accessibility as an ongoing process, not a one-off project: pages and content keep growing, and at every step we check whether they remain usable with a keyboard, a screen reader, magnification or other assistive tools.
Our standard: WCAG 2.2 AA
Our reference point is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), version 2.2, at conformance level AA — the internationally recognised benchmark for accessible web content. These criteria address the typical barriers of the web: sufficient contrast, keyboard operability, a visible focus, alternative text for images, understandable language and a clear structure.
WCAG 2.2 AA is our aspiration and benchmark — not a certificate that everything is done. The website does not yet meet all of the criteria; we are working on it step by step.
Feedback: Get in touch
If you come across a barrier on this website — for example insufficient contrast, an element that cannot be operated with the keyboard, or a missing alternative text — write to us:
E-mail: esg@uni-bielefeld.de
It helps us if you mention: which page you found it on, what exactly did not work, and what you were using (for example a screen reader, a braille display or a smartphone). We will get back to you as soon as we can — usually within a few days. Prefer the phone? You can reach us at +49 521 / 881140.
