Information on accessibility

The University of Vienna is committed to providing accessible websites in accordance with the Austrian Web-Zugänglichkeits-Gesetz (WZG, web accessibility act) as amended to implement the Directive (EU) 2016/2102 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 October 2016 on the accessibility of the websites and mobile applications of public sector bodies (Official Journal L 327 issued on 2 December 2016, p. 1).

This accessibility statement applies to the website under the domain reconnectchina.univie.ac.at.

Status of compliance with the requirements

The website is compliant with WCAG 2.2 AA.

Parts of the websites that are not fully accessible

From the last internal audit on 2025-07-08, no accessibility issues have been identified.

However, please note that the website is also under active development. Despite our best efforts to only add new features that are fully accessible and to appropriately test these new features for their conformance, we cannot completely rule the possibility of a change to the website to inadvertently introduce new accessibility issues. We guarantee that, once discovered, either by an internal audit or when a user notifies us, we will treat such an issue with high priority and fix it as soon as possible.

Notes on style and language

This website reproduces original textual content taken from the Chinese internet (including headlines, texts and tables). The style, language and contents of these texts are beyond the control of the operators of this website and may thus contain language that is difficult to understand.

Translated content in English on this website is produced by automated means from the Chinese original and may likewise be difficult to understand if the original is.

Two important reasons for this limitation are:

a large portion of our database is made up of legal texts, which, as a rule, don't lend themselves well to translation into simple language,
due to the large size and quick growth of our database, it is technically difficult to review and maintain simple language versions.

Release of this accessibility statement

The first version of this statement was released on 2025 June 23. It was updated on 2025 July 8.

The next update to the statement is scheduled for mid-of-June 2026.

This websites' status of compliance has been checked with axe DevTools.
