Had the pleasure of visiting Aegean Solutions in Mytilene, Lesvos, as part of the COASTLINE Horizon Europe MSCA Staff Exchanges field trip for Study Area 3 (8–12 June 2026). We worked closely with partners to advance research on coastal monitoring, UAV-based surveys, and geospatial data acquisition for coastal erosion assessment.
A highlight was collaborating with our CUT secondees Marco and Lemonia, whose enthusiasm and commitment drove the preparation and execution of the activities, alongside the dedicated Aegean Solutions Mytilene team, whose expertise and support were invaluable throughout the mission.
Great to also work alongside Alessandra Capolupo from Politecnico di Bari, reflecting the interdisciplinary, international spirit of the COASTLINE consortium. Our discussions covered fieldwork objectives, data acquisition strategies, and future collaborative research on coastal dynamics and environmental change.
The visit centered on meetings, data processing, and planning discussions for future research directions, supporting ongoing work on aerial and satellite investigations and coastal erosion monitoring in the Eressos coastal area.
A sincere thank you to the entire Aegean Solutions team for their warm hospitality and excellent collaboration. Initiatives like COASTLINE show the value of international staff exchanges in building lasting partnerships, sharing expertise, and developing solutions for sustainable coastal management.
