SelanganMUN 2026

The Southeast Asian Economics Project Selangan Model United Nations Conference (SelanganMUN) is a 2-day simulation conference convening secondary and high school students from across the Asia Pacific region as delegates modelled after the processes of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) to deliberate on critical regional economic and developmental challenges. 

Bringing together a curated total of under 100 delegates representing diverse national and educational backgrounds, SelanganMUN creates a rigorous yet accessible environment for young students to engage substantively with real-world policy challenges facing the Asia-Pacific region.

Important Dates

   Official delegate applications open for both the Hybrid (Physical) and Global (Virtual) tracks.

All applications at this stage enter the initial background and eligibility review. 

2. March 7 and April 18, 2026

   A mandatory preparatory session designed for both novice and experienced delegates. This workshop covers the technicalities of the UN ESCAP Rules of Procedure (ROP), research methodologies for our specific committee topics, and an introduction to the Cengkih Research pipeline. This ensures all participants meet the academic standards required for substantive policy deliberation

   The final cutoff for all delegate applications. Beyond this date, no further submissions will be accepted to allow the Secretariat to finalize the delegate handbook, committee allocations, and the logistics for the Cengkih Research repository integration. All confirmed delegates will receive their final briefing materials.

5. May 30, 2026

   SelanganMUN 2026 officially begins. Delegates will convene for two days of rigorous debate, negotiation, and resolution drafting.
