About

Omnibus sapientia, unicuique excellentia

Dear delegates, esteemed future leaders and diplomats, 

For its 10th anniversary, Sorbonne pour l’Organisation des Nations Unies (SONU) is pleased to announce its first edition of the Sorbonne International Model United Nations conference (SIMUN) 🎉!

Held in the historic campuses of the Sorbonne, SIMUN 2024 is THE opportunity for you to live an unforgettable experience in the heart of Paris, a city with a rich history and culture.

Surrounded by the timeless elegance of the Sorbonne, you will participate in high-level discussions and negotiations across a variety of dynamic committees. 

“Omnibus sapientia, unicuique excellentia” or “knowledge for all, excellence for each” is the Sorbonne’s motto AND our theme for this first edition. Through the values transmitted by this theme, delegates will discuss fundamental topics to create viable solutions for a greater future.   

Because MUN conferences are not only about debating, you will also have the chance to enjoy yourselves during incredible socials in the City of lights. 

So… Seize the moment, and register today!

 

We look forward to welcoming you in Paris in April 2024!

    Succession & Treason: The Fate of the Roman Republic after Caesar

    About the committee

    Following Caesar's assasination, what remained of the Roman Republic fell into chaos and disorder. Soon after, two camps formed, those loyal to Ceasar and those loyal to the Republic. As a member of this committee, will you fight alongside the Triumvirate to avenge the murder of Ceasar, or will you fight alongside the Liberatores, to free Rome from the iron hands of would-be autocrats in order to restore it to its Republican glory ? In this crisis, as a turning point of Roman history is about to be written, uncertainty abounds, omens are bleak and old loyalties are brought into question. Should Rome become a permanent dictatorship ? Should the Senate manage things solely ? The questions are endless and the only person who can answer them, is you. So delve into this Crisis and make it truly, your Roman Empire
