Diplomacy Declassified

Join AmsterMUN 2026, where debate meets diplomacy!

Building on the success of our inaugural edition, AmsterMUN 2026 is the second international Model United Nations conference organised by SIB-Amsterdam, taking place in the heart of the Netherlands: Amsterdam, from November 20 to 22, 2026.

It will be a three-day conference where participants can practice negotiation, debate, and collaborative problem-solving on a range of pressing international issues. Everyone, from experienced to first-time delegates, is welcome, with committees and topics suited to every level.

The theme of AmsterMUN 2026 is Diplomacy Declassified, an invitation to explore the hidden mechanisms of diplomacy, from confidential negotiations and state secrets to security dilemmas and under-discussed global conflicts. We hope AmsterMUN 2026 will be a step towards preparing you to engage critically with these challenges and contribute to a more transparent, cooperative, and peaceful world.

Included for all participants:

  • Two socials to network and unwind after committees
  • Lunches and coffee breaks throughout the conference
  • A goodie bag full of swag
  • Access to the Roeterseiland Campus of the University of Amsterdam, one of the foremost educational institutions in the world
  • Outstanding academic quality ensured by our Academic Advisory Board of professional Amsterdam-based academics
  • Discounted accommodation options provided upon acceptance
  • An unforgettable experience
  • More perks to be announced…

The conference will start on Friday afternoon, November 20th, and conclude on Sunday afternoon, November 22nd.

The core values of AmsterMUN are: professionalism, learning through practice, academic excellence, respect and accessibility for all, addressing the common challenges of humanity, and doing all of this in a fun and rewarding way.
