Web browsers
To zoom in, we recommend using the built-in function of your web browser. In all popular browsers, it is possible to zoom in and out of a page by holding down the Ctrl key (Cmd key in the OS X operating system) while pressing the + or – key. Another handy option is to use the mouse: holding down the Ctrl key while moving the scroll wheel on the mouse. You can return to normal size by pressing the Ctrl and 0 keys at the same time.
Keyboard navigation
This website can also be navigated using only the keyboard. Navigation is done using the Tab key. Each press moves the focus to the next item. The active element is in a different colour and it has a box around it. To activate the link in focus, press the Enter key on the keyboard.
The first two links that become active when navigating in this way are hidden from the average user and are specifically designed for keyboard navigation. These are ‘Skip to main content’ and ‘Accessibility’, respectively.
‘Skip to main content’ skips the header and the left panel and jumps to the main content of the page. ‘Accessibility’ refers to this page you are currently on.
Using a screen reader
A screen reader is a program that tries to interpret what you see on a computer screen and convey it in another form – for example, as sounds or audio commentary. This tool is primarily meant for the visually impaired.
The content presented on this website has been created according to standards that are understandable to screen readers and in such a way that each type of visual content can be reproduced in a different format. For example, images are accompanied by textual descriptions; a video is accompanied by a description of what is happening in the video; the layout and order of the structural elements takes into account the movement of the screen reader on the screen and allows the information to be consumed in a logical order.
