The Katowice City Hall is committed to ensuring the accessibility of its website in accordance with the Act of April 4, 2019, on the digital accessibility of websites and mobile applications of public entities.

This accessibility declaration applies to the website https://miastonauki.katowice.eu

Website publication date: 30 November 2019
Last important update: 18 March 2022

The website is partly consistent with the Act of 4 April 2019 on the digital accessibility of websites and mobile applications of public entities, because:

• certain graphic elements include content which may have been imprecisely described in alternative descriptions,
• certain video materials may not contain audio description,
• certain video materials do not have subtitles, because they had been published before the Act on digital accessibility came into force,
• due to the fact that the website is very expanded and varied, the structure of headlines may be inconsistent on certain subpages,
• links without the description of the link goal can be found on the website,
• files with a wrong language declaration, unmarked tags and metadata can be found on the website,
• code errors can be found on the website.

The declaration was prepared on: 30 July 2025.
The declaration was prepared on the basis of self-assessment made by the public entity.
