Parallel to their tasks at the guest institutions they are qualified for international cultural exchanges through their participation at regular seminars for young managers. They receive a grant from the Robert Bosch Stiftung. The costs for the visa and essential insurance (health, accident, personal liability and baggage insurance) are also paid for by the foundation.
