At MAX IV Laboratory, we are committed to providing a website that is accessible to everyone, regardless of ability. This page outlines our accessibility efforts, known challenges, and how you can help us improve our digital communication by reporting any issues you might encounter.
How we approach accessibility
Our goal is to make the information and services at www.maxiv.lu.se accessible to the widest possible audience. While we strive for full compliance with accessibility standards, we are aware that some parts of the website might not yet meet the required guidelines, as our website is composed with the efforts of many different contributers and collaboraters communicating complex material in a scientific language.
Need help accessing content?
If there is any content on our website that you find difficult to access, or if your needs fall outside the scope of the current accessibility regulations, please reach out to us. As a national research facility we are dedicated to ensure that you can access our information.
