The Bauen-Agrar-Umwelt industrial trade union (IG BAU) represents the interests of around 400,000 workers employed in the German construction and building materials industries, in agriculture and forestry, building management, environmental protection and conservation as well as waste disposal and recycling.
The BBIV represents the interests of the Bavarian construction industry vis-à-vis the trade unions, legislators, government and public administration in Bavaria.
The LBB (State Association of Bavarian Construction Guilds) is the employers’ and trade association of the Bavarian construction guilds.
The VBZH (Bavarian association of carpenters and timber construction contractors) is the professional organisation of the Bavarian carpenters and timber construction industry which campaigns on behalf of business owners and the carpentry trades.
The Oskar von Miller Forum is run by the foundation Stiftung Bayerisches Baugewerbe. The building is owned by Gemeinnützige Urlaubskasse des Bayerischen Baugewerbes e. V., which is a registered association. The industrial partners of the Bavarian construction industry are members of this association.
The Oskar von Miller Forum can therefore build on the support of the Bavarian building trade associations, the Bavarian construction industry association, the Bauen-Agrar-Umwelt industrial trade union (IG BAU) and the Verband der Zimmerer und Holzbauunternehmer Bayern (VBZH).
Providing stimulus with an interdisciplinary and international focus to the university education of engineers and students from higher level trade school for the construction industry is the common goal.
