Standard applied
This website is designed to meet the European Accessibility Act (Directive (EU) 2019/882) as implemented through the harmonised European standard EN 301 549, which incorporates the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA.
What we have done
- Structure & landmarks — semantic HTML with banner, navigation, main and contentinfo regions, and a logical heading order.
- Keyboard access — every interactive element is reachable and operable by keyboard, with a visible focus indicator and a "skip to main content" link.
- Colour contrast — text meets the 4.5:1 ratio (3:1 for large text and interface components).
- Text alternatives — meaningful images have descriptive alt text; decorative graphics are hidden from assistive technology.
- Names, roles & states — menus, accordions and the chatbot expose correct ARIA roles and states.
- Motion & resizing — animation respects
prefers-reduced-motion; layouts reflow and remain usable at 200% zoom and on small screens.
Known limitations
- Registration is handled by an external platform (EventMatic) which may not yet fully conform; contact us if you need assistance registering.
