DTA3 Legacy Fund

Identified a challenge currently facing the UK society?

The DTA3 Legacy Fund is an opportunity for DTA3 alum to find solutions by learning from practice in another country.

Honouring the value MSCA places on international mobility, the DTA3 Legacy Fund is an opportunity for our fellows, following graduation from their doctoral studies, to learn from practice in another country, with the intention to apply this learning to UK society. 

The DTA3 Legacy Fund will provide fellows with the opportunity to undertake a 1–2-month international placement to explore any of the challenges UK society is currently facing in order to identify potential solutions. The proposed solutions must be scalable, sustainable and include a non-academic partner (e.g., business, government agency, NGO, hospitals etc.). 

Proposal should be submitted under one, or more, of the following themes: 
•    Creative arts
•    Children and young people 
•    Climate change 
•    Active ageing 
•    Resilient economies and communities 
•    Technology for all
