Published on September 29, 2020 by - Updated on 27 mai 2021 à 11H35

The Côte d’Azur University has chosen Kosmos to develop and install its new public service, connected portal. With Kosmos solutioning, using responsive design, the Kosmos teams have developed a new user-friendly website with a new graphic identity and features. This project, conducted remotely, was developed within a short deadline (7 months).


A desire to improve the user experience


On January 1st, 2020, the Côte d’Azur University saw the light of day by merging with the University of Nice, Sophia Antipolis created in 1965 and the Community of Universities and Establishments, Côte d’Azur University created in 2015. All teaching and research units have merged. The Côte d’Azur University now has a total of 55 research structures in all major scientific areas to define its scientific policy, guide its partnerships, encourage innovation and stimulate the teaching that it dispenses in its Research Universities [Ecoles Universitaires de Recherche (EUR).]

The Kosmos solutioning teams proposed a second front-office with a dedicated template, thus accelerating the development of the new EUR websites. To provide visitors with the best experience, the portal offers visitors all the information on the campus and news focused on their profile: visitors, teaching/research staff, companies, students and high-school students.
