About

The World We Leave Behind: The Next Generation

 

WE ARE NOW AT CAPACITY AND SADLY CANNOT ACCEPT ANY MORE APPLICATIONS EXCEPT FOR CHAIR APPLICATIONS (SEE BELOW)

CamMUN 2026 is a conference for 14-18 year olds in central Cambridge for three days from Friday 30th January - Sunday 1st February. Our theme is 'The World We Leave Behind: The Next Generation', and our goal this year is to debate regarding topics which will concern future generations internationally. 

Our conference is held in the senior school site of Stephen Perse Cambridge and includes roughly 2 full days of debating, plus opening and closing ceremonies with prizes given to the highest performing delegates from each committee. We have committees for all experience levels, ranging from complete beginner to expert. We ask that you only apply to committees that match your experience level or lower, so as to make the conference an enjoyable experience for everyone. 

Faculty advisors must sign up their own delegations, as individual delegates and chairs will not be accepted. Payments and individual student details can be added after the delegation has been accepted. Acceptance of delegations will be done at the discretion of the CamMUN secretariat. Applications will close on the 3rd of November and the deadline for payments is the 21st of November. Refunds will not be accepted after the 12th January 2026. 
 

UPDATE: Students who wish to apply as chairs must apply individually, not under a delegation. However, you do still need to come as part of a school/institution so please indicate this in the personal details section of your application, and make sure that they are registered as a delegation before you apply. 


Faculty advisors will be responsible for all of their students throughout the entire conference, on and off site, and must be present at the conference at all times. 

Accommodation will not be provided but we have a list of recommended hotels and hostels in central Cambridge for any schools coming from further afield on our website. For international schools, we do require students to have an English standard of at least B1, but ideally in the high B range, based on the CEFR standards (we do not require the exams to have been taken, but if students are not proficient in spoken English they will be unable to fully participate in the debating and so will not be able to enjoy the conference, and may also affect the flow of debate for other delegates).
