PROF. DR.-ING. WERNER LaNG Director | Oskar von Miller Forum T he Oskar von Miller Forum is an international meeting place for particularly talented students in the construction industry, for master craftsmen and women in the building trade and for international guest scientists of the Technische Universität München. The house offers on the one hand over 60 international visiting students and scientists a temporary home, while on the other hand being a forum for inter- disciplinary and intercultural exchange relating to essential topics of relevance for the future. As an independent educational initiative of the Bavarian construction industry, the Oskar von Miller Forum thus promotes the university education of engineers at the Technische Universität München, providing importance impetus for the training of young engineers in the construction-related faculties, thus strength- ening the future prospects of budding architects and engineers in terms of an international and interdisciplinary working environment. Besides the actual educational objectives, which cover among other things high- calibre lectures by internationally renowned scientists, engineers and architects, I think it is very important to give our young people the opportunity to understand and develop their own personality in terms of their work-life choices as members of society.
