One of these components is guest scientists who, as scientists in residence, share their know-how and experience and are available as mentors for the scholarship holders. They contribute to and enrich the programme as well as day-to-day life at the Oskar von Miller Forum both from a professional and an intercultural point of view.

A number of additional in-house activities are organised by the scholarship holders on their own initiative. They fur thermore enhance their social skills by taking part in personal development seminars.
