The National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT) is a long-term cooperation between the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), excellent partners in university medicine and other outstanding research partners at various locations in Germany.

The website www.nct.dkfz.de is operated by the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ).

We endeavor to make the website accessible.

This is done in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Disability Equality Act (BGG) and the Barrier-free Information Technology Ordinance (BITV 2.0) for the implementation of Directive (EU) 2016/2102.

This declaration was prepared on 24.06.2024 on the basis of an internal audit.

Status of compliance with the requirements

The accessibility requirements result from Section 3 (1) to (4) and Section 4 of BITV 2.0, which was issued on the basis of Section 12d BGG.

Compliance with the requirements was checked in a self-assessment carried out on 24.06.2024.

The review of the website www.nct.dkfz.de revealed that it is not yet fully compliant with the BGG and BITV 2.0. Non-accessible content and alternative access to non-accessible content are described in the following sections.

The necessary improvements are in progress.
