The National Model United Nations (NMUN) is the world’s biggest UN simulation. Every year it unites more than 4500 students from universities all over the globe. At the conference, the procedures of a UN organ – from opening ceremony to the adoption of resolutions – are simulated as realistically as possible. Participation in the preparatory NMUN seminar, which is open to all Bachelor students, is subject to a special selection process that takes place every May and June.
