MÜNSTER UNIVERSITY INTERNATIONAL MODEL UNITED NATIONS
About Us
The next edition of MUIMUN will provide its participants with the chance to debate in several English, Spanish and French-speaking committees, working together with over 200 delegates from all over the world in the beautiful city of Münster, Germany. Being a great experience for First Timers and also experienced MUNers, it offers a unique atmosphere of social and international diversity tied together by the magical MUIMUN spirit. The castle being Münster’s main attraction is an ideal place to set the scene for diplomatic discussions, relations and – last but not least – our spectacular socials. There will be scholarships available for international delegates and High school scholars accompanied by workshops concerning a wide variety of topics linked to the United Nations.

What is a MUN?
The abbreviation MUN stands for Model United Nations and describes an event during which students get to play the role of international delegates and discuss different topics in a wide variety of UN-committees while representing their assigned country. The debates are accompanied by social events and often workshops during which the participants have the opportunity to learn about the United Nations or improve skills such as making speeches or writing working papers.
Patron 2009: German Minister of Foreign Affairs
MUIMUN is honored to announce patronage of Dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier, German Minister of Foreign Affairs, for the conference 2009! Dr. Steinmeier, who is also Vice Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, already met representatives of the MUIMUN organizational team, in October and was impressed by the concept of the conference.
Dr. Steinmeier is a graduate in law and has been active in politics since 1975. Most notably he has been Chief of the Chancellery from 1999-2005 before becoming foreign minister in September 2005. In this function he has also been President of the Council of the European Union in 2007. More information can be found on http://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/diplo/en/AAmt/Leitung/BM-Lebenslauf.html
In his speeches in front of the United Nations, he has stressed the importance of international cooperation: “In order to resolve the problems of today and tomorrow, we all need more partners, not more opponents. The twenty-first century is the first in which we can resolve problems only if we work together.”
The non-profit Münster MUN e. V. (German registered association) supports the MUIMUN project actively, especially with a staff (the volontarily working MUIMUN organization team) and ideally. Additionally, it also helps in funding the project.
