Model the Future of Europe at MECUN 2026: A Simulation of the European Council
MECUN 2026 – Model European Council is a unique conference focused entirely on simulating the European Council (EUCO) — one of the highest political body of the European Union, where heads of state and government shape the strategic direction of the EU.
Taking place in Bratislava, Slovakia, MECUN will gather passionate and ambitious young delegates from across Europe and beyond. Over an engaging weekend, participants will step into the shoes of EU leaders to tackle some of the most complex and pressing issues facing the Union today — from enlargement and integration to migration, security, and economic coordination.
Whether you are deeply interested in European politics or simply want to take your model conference experience to the next level, MECUN 2026 is the ideal place to connect with fellow changemakers and contribute to shaping the future of Europe.
Join us in March 2026, and be part of a one-of-a-kind simulation where diplomacy meets vision.
