Accessibility

GSPN is a place where every science professional can find opportunity.

Whatever your goals, ideas, and abilities are, we're here to help you succeed.

Concentric golden rings representing inclusion and global reach

No two GSPN members are the same — and it's that diversity which makes our community so great.

We're on a journey to make accessibility and inclusive design part of our core principles, building accessibility from the ground up and testing our products with assistive technology so that everyone can use GSPN to advance their scientific work and career.

Our Accessibility Answer Desk

Our team is constantly working to improve the experience for all GSPN members by adding new features and making changes to better serve our community. We're always open to feedback and would love to hear from you about how we can make the product even better.

If you find an accessibility bug, want to submit a complaint, or have trouble using GSPN with assistive technology, contact us and we'll reach out to help you through it.

If you're a screen-reader user, please visit our Help Center for setup articles and platform-specific guidance.

Accessibility @ GSPN

We've adopted the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines in the design and development of the platform.

As part of our commitment to accessibility we continuously audit our product — internally and through independent review — using assistive technology such as screen-reading software (e.g., JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack).

GSPN is committed to meeting accessibility regulations around the world, including the European Accessibility Act.
