About Us

VUBMUN is the oldest Belgian Model United Nations society, we train a dedicated team of students who are selected to join our diplomacy team each year to participate in Model UN conferences across the globe.

VUBMUN was ranked the 10th best Model United Nations delegation in the world, according to the International Education Company Best Delegate. Though it has a comparatively young history, our continued success at the largest European and international conferences has ensured a strong name-recognition among other delegations and conference organizers. What is MUN?

The main event is the large Harvard WorldMUN conference organized by Harvard University at a different location in the world each year. Last year, VUBMUN made the trip out to New York City in the United States of America for NMUN, as well as to London for LIMUN hosted by King’s College London. VUBMUN also participates in VVNMUN held in a city in Belgium.

Since its founding in 2002 VUBMUN has sought to challenge tomorrow’s leaders to expand their global awareness, discover new experiences, become masters in the art of diplomacy and have the time of their lives! Through embracing the spirit of the United Nations we seek to inspire the global citizen in each of our delegates; that they may act as ambassadors of the interconnected world we live in.

VUBMUN has long functioned under the patronage of the Faculty of Law and Criminology, thanks to the continued engagement ofProfessor Tony Joris, who is a full-time Professor of European Union Law and holds the Jean Monnet Chair of European law at the VUB, where he is also Director of the Centre for European Law, Co-Director of PILC and Erasmus Coordinator of the Faculty of Law and Criminology. Professor Joris ensures VUBMUN receives the best organizational options possible from the university and is involved in the application process.

We are deeply honored to acknowledge the lasting impact of Professor Evelyne Namenwirth, a former VUB professor and esteemed professional speech coach, who has been a cornerstone of VUBMUN’s journey. Her dedication to training our delegates in public speaking and professional communication has spanned years, shaping countless members into confident and eloquent speakers. Even after her tenure at VUB, she continues to contribute her expertise, leaving an indelible mark on our organization and its legacy.
