Model Olympics 2026

The Model Olympic Committee Conference (MOC) is a first-of-its-kind simulation that places students alongside real-world sports governance challenges. Delegates will engage in exploring issues such as athlete eligibility, anti-doping ethics, gender equity, and the strategic selection and governance of future Olympic Games.

While Model United Nations simulations have existed for over a century, events specifically dedicated to replicating the internal political dynamics of the sports movement are exceptionally rare. Traditional sport conferences in Europe focus on professional stakeholders, international federations, or educational lectures, but the MOC is the first student-driven simulation in Europe that models the Olympic governance ecosystem as a strategic committee process leading to binding framework documents and an Olympic host selection simulation.

The MOC uniquely

• Bridges sports, policy, and academic simulation, creating a platform for high-level research and negotiation among youth leaders.
• Connects global sport issues to European and Slovak contexts, engaging topics like athlete development systems and national sport governance.
• Empowers delegates with real drafting formats, such as the Host City Contract and Policy Frameworks, that mirror institutional documents used by major sport organizations like the International Olympic Committee.

The conference culminates in a simulated selection of the 2036 Summer Olympic Games host city, where alliances, strategic negotiation, and cross-committee frameworks determine the future host—much like the real Olympic selection process.
