Accessibility Statement

The National Research, Development and Innovation Office (NRDI Office) (hereinafter: NRDI Office) is committed to making its website accessible in accordance with Act LXXV of 2018 on the accessibility of websites and mobile applications of public sector bodies.

This accessibility statement applies to the website https://www.nkfih.gov.hu/.

1. Compliance Status

This website is partially compliant with Act LXXV of 2018 on the accessibility of websites and mobile applications of public sector bodies, due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below.

Our institution is committed to ensuring full accessibility, and the website is therefore currently undergoing systematic further development. The identified accessibility deficiencies are being addressed, and the website's core functions will fully comply with WCAG 2.1 Level AA requirements by 28 February 2027.

2. Non-accessible Content

Pursuant to Act LXXV of 2018 on the accessibility of websites and mobile applications of public sector bodies, the following content currently does not meet the accessibility requirements:

2.1. Non-compliance with Act LXXV of 2018:

2.1.1 Non-accessible Documents

Certain reports and statements available on the website are scanned versions of paper-based documents, i.e. they are in image format, or are data submissions required to be submitted in a prescribed format to central budgetary bodies, and are therefore not accessible. As long as the reporting obligations concerning paper-based and special formats remain unchanged, these documents will be published on the website in scanned format or in the format prescribed by the external partner.

2.1.2 Elements Under Development

• Hiding decorative images from screen reader software.
• Adding subtitles and audio narration to in-house video recordings.
• Revising error messages to make them more descriptive so that the exact action required is clear.
• Using an accessible CAPTCHA.
• Ensuring that content appearing on mouse hover or keyboard focus is appropriately designed.
• Providing appropriate text alternatives for certain images.
• Removing focus from invisible elements.
• Highlighting focus on individual elements.
• Ensuring consistency in the use of title tags across the website.
• Adding missing labels and making existing ones accessible.
• Clarifying link texts.
• Adding missing explanations for certain icons.
• Operating the menu using screen reader software.
• Establishing an appropriate heading structure.
• Correcting the website's inadequate response to user-modified text styles within the constraints of the current website framework.
• Ensuring an appropriate contrast ratio between text and website backgrounds.
• Ensuring the correct contrast ratio for non-text elements.
• Ensuring that links are visually distinguishable from the surrounding text.
• Ensuring proper functionality at 200%/400% zoom.
• Making downloadable documents accessible.

2.2. Disproportionate Burden:

The structure of the large number of archived professional documents in PDF and other formats available on the website, created before the date of this statement, does not always support the use of screen reader software. The retrospective, large-scale conversion of these documents would impose a disproportionate administrative and technical burden on the organisation.

The https://nkfih.gov.hu/for-the-applicants/funding-schemes page contains a diagram that can only be made accessible through graphic redesign and development, which would impose a disproportionate technical burden.

The in-house videos published on the website currently do not have comprehensive subtitles or audio descriptions and are therefore inaccessible or only partially accessible to users with hearing or visual impairments. All in-house video content published after 1 January 2027 will be made available in an accessible format.

The website contains a table whose row and column headers have not been created using the appropriate HTML elements. Accessibility can be achieved through the redesign and further development of the website, which would impose a disproportionate technical burden.

2.3. Content Outside the Scope of Applicable Legislation

The website contains third-party digital content that was not created or is not managed by the NRDI Office (in particular, embedded audio and video files and broadcasts) and is not under the direct control of our organisation.

The NRDI Office accepts no responsibility for making these externally sourced multimedia materials accessible, providing subtitles or audio narration for them, as they fall outside the scope of the obligations under the relevant legislation.

3. Accessible Alternative

As an accessible alternative, the NRDI Office undertakes, where technically feasible, to prepare an accessible PDF version of the content specified by the user and make it available to the applicant within 15 days of receipt of the request, based on the user's individual needs. The Office will send the accessible PDF to the user and replace the non-accessible version published on the website with an accessible version.

4. Preparation of the Accessibility Statement

This statement was prepared on 30 October 2026, based on an inspection conducted by the Digital Services Supervision Department of the Digitális Magyarország Ügynökség Zrt. (Digital Hungary Agency Ltd.).

5. Feedback and Contact Details

The NRDI Office is continuously working to improve the accessibility of its interfaces. Any deficiencies, comments or individual requests concerning content exempt from accessibility requirements may be reported using the following contact details:
