Mothenburg 2026

FROM MOTHENBURG TO THE WORLD

Welcome fellow delegates and chairs to a MUN, organised by UF Malmö and UF Gothenburg. Following two successful editions, Mothenburg is back for its third edition!

About the conference

The event will take place from Friday the 27th until Sunday the 29th of November at Malmö University in southern Sweden.

This edition’s topic, which is, ‘Global Migration Crisis and Tensions Between Transit, Origin and Destination Countries’, aims to explore and provide further comprehension of migration routes and the impact they have economically, socially, and politically.

Migration flows generate tensions among countries of origin, transit, and destination; putting global governance to the test. Due to that, international migration has become one of the major geopolitical, social, and economic challenges of the 21st century, and it requires the coordination of responsibilities for security, development, economic needs, and human rights. 

At Mothenburg, we encourage participants to explore these phenomena with diplomacy, eloquence, and critical analysis; combined with a collaborative, proactive, versatile, and solution-oriented mindset.

Our Committees

We are happy to announce that Mothenburg will have 6 committees, both for beginners and intermediate delegates.

Beginner:

• Human Rights Council: Protection of Human Rights for Migrants and Refugees when Deportations or Detentions Occur.
• General Assembly 3rd (Social, Humanitarian, and Cultural issues): Irregular Migration by Sea: Shared Responsibilities in Rescues and Repatriations.
