HMMUN Negotiation Table 2026

HMMUN Negotiation Table III — G-Tech

The HMMUN Negotiation Table returns for its third edition.

Topic: G-Tech: The National Technology Challenge

Negotiation Table (NT) is a participant-driven negotiation format developed by HMMUN. Unlike traditional Model United Nations committees, NT operates without an Executive Board directing discussions, formal speaking orders, motions, or procedural rules. The responsibility for progress rests entirely with the participants.

🏫 At NT III, participants will step into the Executive Council of Gawde School of Technology (G-Tech), a technology-focused institution based in Mumbai. G-Tech has been invited to submit a flagship proposal to the Government of India’s National Frontier Technology Initiative — an opportunity that could bring significant research funding, national recognition, and new partnerships to the institution.

💼 Participants will assume the roles of senior members of G-Tech’s Executive Council, each responsible for protecting different priorities:

• Finance and institutional sustainability
• Academic quality and curriculum
• Research and technological innovation
• Public image and institutional reputation
• Student welfare and campus experience
• Industry partnerships 

⚖️ The Council can submit only one proposal. Every option presents different opportunities, costs, risks, and long-term consequences for G-Tech. Through discussion, coalition-building, compromise, and strategic decision-making, participants must determine which direction the institution should take.

⏳ The Negotiation Table will run for two hours, during which participants will be expected to take initiative, contribute actively, and work toward an outcome.

🌟 Success at the Negotiation Table is not determined by who speaks the most or wins the most arguments. Instead, NT rewards initiative, adaptability, collaboration, and the ability to move the table toward meaningful progress.

Welcome to the Executive Council. The future of G-Tech is in your hands.
