eAccessibility
In keeping with its Accessibility policy, DIGITALEUROPE will ensure that its website is eAccessible to users who have visual, hearing, motor or cognitive impairments.
DIGITALEUROPE works with those in the wider accessibility community to support the future development of these technologies and the standards that allow all websites to be created to work best with them.
In addition to making technical changes to our Web sites to provide greater accessibility, we test them with multiple assistive technologies - such as screen readers and screen enlarging software - to analyse and modify our pages.
In those instances where the specific accessibility needs of some disabled user groups require us to create new or repurposed editorial content, we will do this, wherever appropriate, so that we become more inclusive to a wider audience online.
Although we continue to test and modify our website for accessibility, there may be some legacy pages and pages developed by third-parties that are not fully compliant with our standards. If you would like further information about our accessibility standards or have problems accessing this Web site, please contact Director of Communications and Marketing Natalia Kurop - natalia.kurop@digitaleurope putting in cc info@digitaleurope.org
