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.
