Purpose and goal

Sweden-California Mobility Professional Exchange Program (PEP) enables a deep knowledge exchange between key individuals in Sweden and California. By investing in key individuals who spend an extended period of time abroad and who are personally and professionally motivated, a significantly deeper level of knowledge exchange and relationship building is enabled. The project also includes a series of dissemination activities to share insights and knowledge built through the exchange.

Expected effects and result

Through the project, - Four key individuals will develop knowledge of innovative methods in the other country. - These individuals will become ´ambassadors´ of knowledge within their own organizations, capable of establishing further contacts between relevant individuals in both countries for future projects. - Dissemination activities are expected to reach at least 200-300 individuals in total in the US and Sweden. - This is a pilot project, which lay the foundation for a long-term program.

Planned approach and implementation

Within the project, a total of 4 exchanges will be carried out. In addition to the actual exchange programs, a number of dissemination activities will be carried out to share knowledge and insights to a wider audience at home and in the actors´ home organizations. The project is a pilot and will evaluate the exchanges that are carried out, and suggest how the pilot can be scaled up.
