GOT Energy Talent (GET) is a fellowship program co-funded by the EU as part of the H2020-MSCA-COFUND program. GET is run by the University of Alcalá (UAH) as a beneficiary of the action. Further, in collaboration with the University Rey Juan Carlos (URJC). Both universities co-fund the action in equal parts.

GET is an ambitious program that aims not only to enable researchers to conduct their own excellent research project. It also intends to bring research closer to society and produce a positive effect. Not only in terms of excellent science and talent attraction but also by strengthening the regional economy. Also,   promoting international networking. GET’s field of action is one of the priorities of the Smart Specialisation Strategy of the region of Madrid.
