MEDMUN 2026
Mediterranean Model United Nations
Seeds of Hope: Cultivating Resilience in the Face of Global Crisis
The Mediterranean Model United Nations (MEDMUN) is a student-run MUN conference that welcomes almost 500 highly motivated participants from distinguished high schools and universities worldwide every year. This annual conference serves as a place to promote multicultural exchanges among young generations to find solutions for ongoing geopolitical challenges our world is currently facing.We are delighted to announce the 14th edition of MEDMUN applications officially open!
MEDMUN will take place from April 10 to 12, 2026 in Sciences Po Paris' Mediterranean and Middle Eastern campus, in Menton . This framework provides delegates with an academically stimulating environment, characteristic of the Grande École de Sciences Po Paris, situated in our small seaside town, often nicknamed the “ Pearl of France .”
MEDMUN will consist of 21 committees , including 5 crisis committees, 3 courts, the International Press Forum and the Conseil MUNicipal. These committees will be held in the 6 languages of the Mediterranean region: French, English, Arabic, Italian, Spanish and Turkish.
In an era marked by uncertainty from climate emergencies and armed conflicts to social inequality and digital disruption the new generation is called upon to plant the seeds of hope: ideas, partnerships, and actions that can sustain resilience and renewal across societies.
This year’s theme focuses on how young leaders in the Mediterranean and Middle East can shape sustainable responses to global crises by fostering dialogue, empathy, and collective strength.
The conference also offers a scientific approach by 16 professionals who, within the opening and closing ceremonies, and also in the committees, present their expertise in the subjects addressed at MEDMUN and frame the reflection of the delegates.
We extend a warm invitation to all stakeholders for MEDMUN 2026. This conference promises to be a memorable academic, social, and cultural occasion for the delegates, all while enjoying our small town's charm, and as we like to say: "sea, sun, and lemons.”
Join us to meet a new generation of delegates and share your ideas for collective solutions to the new challenges proposed during MEDMUN 2026!
Please note: you must pay the conference fees only once you have been accepted in order to be assigned to a committee. The maximum number of delegates per delegation is 20 .
What are Crisis committees at MEDMUN?
The crisis committees at MEDMUN take you on a thrilling journey through fast-paced, real-time decision-making, where you become the key to shaping the future and solving important crises in the Mediterranean. However, our crisis committees take a twist on the typical General Assembly committee. Each committee combines two cabinets, each with their own chair, that work together, or against each other, to achieve their goals. During the committee, the backroom staff will present crisis scenarios that must be solved in addition to the original questions. Crisis presents delegates an opportunity to be creative and address fast moving problems in a regional context.
What are MEDMUN's online committees?
This year, exceptionally, MEDMUN is introducing two online committees, one in French and the other in English, providing students and high schoolers the opportunity to participate in our conference remotely through MEDMUN Online. Priority will be given to students from the MENA region, who cannot travel due to political conflicts.
