Accessibility statement and Disproportionate Burden Assessment

Hereby, the Slovenian Research Agency (ARRS) undertake to enable access to all users to its website in accordance with the Accessibility of Websites and Mobile Applications Act (Zakon o dostopnosti spletišč in mobilnih aplikacij - in Slovenian language). This Accessibility Statement refers to the website ARRS.SI To guarantee the provision of requirements regarding accessibility, the following adaptations have been systemically ensured:

  • fonts size adjustment,
  • display of content for assistive technologies’ users (for example: screen reader, Braille display),
  • keyboard navigation (adaptation for users who cannot use a computer mouse),
  • appropriate colour contrasts (between the text and the background),
  • predictable website operation,
  • enabled adding of alternative text to images,
  • enabled usage of different heading levels.

Compliance status

ARRS.SI website is partially compliant with the Accessibility of Websites and Mobile Applications Act due to the following exceptions listed below.

Inaccessible content

We constantly monitor the accessibility of ARRS.SI website, and continuously improve individual accessibility elements. Nevertheless, some published content does not comply with all the requirements regarding accessibility as stipulated by the Accessibility of Websites and Mobile Applications Act. The examples of such contents are:

  • scanned documents in PDF format,
  • program-generated documents (e.g. annual reports),
  • various complex tables with data
  • alternative texts for some media content (photos, videos, icons and other decorative graphic elements),
  • video content that is not subtitled or provided with sign language,
  • some pages do not display completely on small screens without a left-right slider due to the structure of the content.

Processing all content to full compliance with the requirements of the Accessibility of Websites and Mobile Applications Act would constitute a disproportionate burden for ARIS and therefore, as accessible alternatives, ARIS provides assistance in understanding instructions, reports and other texts to vulnerable groups at info@aris-rs.si. Details are provided in the Disproportionate Burden Assessment.
