The Contact, Imprint, Plain language, Barrier-free access and Data protection pages are part of a website. The content of the pages must be adapted to your own institution.

Contact: The JGU IdM-Person or JGU-IdM-Organization blocks are available for the publication of contact data and addresses, which form an interface to the staff directory. By using the IdM blocks, data protection is warranted when publishing personal data! Various layout options are available on the contact page:

  • In the JGU idm person blocks, link the respective persons from your own institutions (ID from the staff directory profile)
  • 2. hire JGU-idm organization for your own faculty or institution
  • 3. JGU-idm organization for output of a list of persons from A-Z, with linking of persons to profile in the staff directory)

In the layout, columns are used for the design, some of which remain empty and support the layout in the desktop view. These empty columns are ‘hidden’ for viewing on mobile devices.
