Results and expected effects
The results of the project are that a collaboration was organized and that a proposal was submitted to Vinnova. The project has positively contributed to the quality of the proposal. If funded, the present project will have contributed greatly to organization of a collaboration between UCLA Statistics and Uppsala Mathematical Statistics with lots of potential and many synergies.
Approach and implementation
Meetings were scheduled with departments in Sweden and UCLA Statistics. The participation of Vinnova through funding contributed significantly to the interest and attention of the organizations and simplified many things. At the meetings conditions for collaboration were discussed and details negotiated over. The meetings contributed to efficiency in the proposal writing process, which enhanced the quality of the proposal at the submission deadline. The project worked well in every regard.
