The DTA3 Legacy Fund provided DTA3 alum the opportunity to find solutions by learning from practice in another country.

Honouring the value MSCA places on international mobility, the DTA3 Legacy Fund was 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 provided 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 needed to follow at least one of the following themes: 
•    Creative arts
•    Children and young people 
•    Climate change 
•    Active ageing 
•    Resilient economies and communities 
•    Technology for all
