Development of Web Accessibility Recommendations for CERN

CERN is the birthplace of the web and a rich source of scientific information, ideas and discoveries. Yet access to the Web and its valuable resources are difficult for many people, with overwhelming evidence of digital barriers in place. This study examines the current status of Web Accessibility at CERN, identifies areas for improvement, discusses factors that may be driving the situation, and finally offers recommendations and guidelines to provide, and promote, an environment where CERN’s science can be available to all, both within CERN’s communities and the general public.
