The Co-ReSyF capabilities will be supported and initially demonstrated by a team of young scientists, students and novice EO and coastal researchers, who will develop new coastal research applications based on EO data on the Co-ReSyF platform.

As a result, a Competitive Call for Ideas was issued in 2016 to promote the usage of Co-ReSyF, and invite proposals for innovative ideas and research activities using the platform. Eight (8) successful applicants have now been invited to attend the Co-ReSyF Summer School (12-14th July 2017, Lisbon, Portugal), where they will be given access to (a) the Co-ReSyF platform, (b) training material and (c) technical support to develop their proposed ideas into new coastal applications. Adding to current Co-ReSyF Research Applications, the development of new ideas will allow these early platform users to demonstrate the capabilities and broader scope of Co-ReSyF to the wider scientific community.
