The AC21 Legacy Fund (LF) aims to promote the development of research and educational exchanges between AC21 members by providing funding for a collaborative project in research, learning, and teaching to advance scholarly engagement. As AC21 came to a close at the end of 2022, the Legacy Fund is intended to support a project that will make use of and further facilitate the AC21 network that was developed in the past 20 years of its activities.

The project that is funded by the AC21 Legacy Fund can include the organization of symposia, workshops, and educational (or training) activities. While it needs not be research-based, it is expected to include as wide a circle of contacts and participants as possible.

Application Eligibility

AC21 Legacy Fund will only support a project that is designed to be inclusive of all the AC21 community members who wish to participate.
