Implementing accessibility – challenges and obstacles
While the W3C recommendations on accessibility (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, WCAG 1.0) have been around since 2008, and assistive technology (screen readers etc.) even longer, 99% of all developers of widgets, plug-ins and components – especially of popular JS/CSS frameworks such as Bootstrap, jQuery (and their UI kits) and WebApps based on Angular, React or Vue – act as if the topic of digital accessibility doesn’t exist. This partially or completely excludes about 20% of users who used apps or websites based on these technologies. Unfortunately, this is the sad truth.
The next Informatiktage will take place from 28 March to 1 April 2022, and we are glad that it can take place again this year despite Corona. The exciting offer is aimed at school classes, teachers as well as children and young people. Participants can discover the world of computer science in exciting workshops, lectures and tours.

Cloud Service Center – the cloud control center of ETH
In aviation, safe traffic in and above the clouds is ensured by pilots, on-board/control instruments and, ultimately, ground control centres. The latter monitor the entire airspace and ensure that traffic flows leaving their own airspace can also be secured.
Over the past few years, IT Services has continued to expand its services and therefore provided significant support for the digitisation of ETH Zurich.
