About SLU's websites

Page reviewed:  11/06/2025

Accessability

We want as many people as possible to be able to use SLU's websites, regardless of platform or any adaptation aids. However, we are aware that the sites have some accessibility problems.

Below is an account of how our websites meet the law on accessibility for digital public service, of known accessibility problems and how to report an accessibility problem.

Reporting problems with the websites’ accessibility

We work constantly to improve our websites’ accessibility, but are aware that we have problems. Please let us know if you find issues that are not described below, or if you consider that we do not meet the requirements.

Also, please get in touch if you need content that is not available to you. We normally respond within two weekdays.

Supervision

The Agency for Digital Government (DIGG) is the Swedish agency responsible for monitoring the compliance with the Public Sector Bodies (websites and mobile applications) Accessibility Regulations. If you are not happy with how we respond to your views, you can report this to DIGG.

How accessible is the website?

SLU's websites meet the accessibility requirements for public sector bodies for the main part.

The following content on the websites is however not sufficiently accessible:

  • Some videos and podcasts do not have an alternative presentation of the content.
  • Some videos lack visual interpretation options.
  • Some link texts are too general in the given context and do not describe the destination of the link in a sufficiently detailed manner.

How we tested the site

We have done a self-assessment (internal testing) of the websites. The most recent assessment was made on 4 juni 2025, and the report was updated the same date.
