GIST's website receives web accessibility certification mark

□ The website for the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST • President Seung Hyeon Moon) received the WA (Web Accessibility) certification mark from the Korea Web Accessibility Certification Evaluation Institute on April 19, 2017.

□ The WA (Web Accessibility) certification mark is a legal requirement to ensure that information provided on a website can be accessible by people with disabilities, such blindness or other physical impairments.

□ In February 2017, GIST revamped its website and improved information accessibility by enhancing the website's user interface to allow greater compliance with Web Accessibility standards in items of improved visual, audio, and mobile design.

□ Even after receiving the WA (Web Accessibility) certification mark, GIST will continue to improve its website accessibility by making it easier and more convenient for everyone, including people with physical impairments or disabilities, to use. In addition, GIST will increase accessibility to information through the active engagement of social network services (SNS), such as Facebook and Instagram.
