🎓 What if you couldn’t be on campus… but still be there? At IMREDD (@univcotedazur.bsky.social), one student joined his graduation ceremony via telepresence robot - giving his speech and taking photos with classmates. Telepresence keeps students connected, wherever they are.

Six students wearing graduation gowns, caps, and blue stoles pose together in front of a backdrop reading “Université Côte d’Azur.” At the center, a telepresence robot (also wearing a cap and stole) displays the face of a remote student, virtually participating in the MSc Engineers for Smart Cities graduation ceremony at IMREDD, a partner in the 5G Metro project.
