NOVOMUN 2026
NOVOMUN
Debate Now, Lead Tomorrow!
Conference Overview
NOVOMUN is a school-level, formal conference during which delegates must adopt the perspective of their assigned countries regarding diverse political, military, and other similar pressing issues, fostering the individual knowledge, culture, and critical thinking skills of each participant beyond their comfort zone.
This specific Model United Nations conference is based on the discussion of draft clauses rather than draft resolutions. These clauses may be amended and thoroughly debated before being passed or not, depending on the number of votes against, in favor of, and abstentions they receive. All clauses that are passed by the committee are added to its Final Resolution, which is also debated at the end of each session.
This year's conference will be held at Universidade da Maia, under the theme “Promoting World Peace Through Post-War Crisis Aversion”. Bearing this in mind, all committee sessions will aim to tackle and overcome the aftermath of the multiple major conflicts that have emerged across the globe as of late, with a focus on achieving peace.
