Event Overview

TIMUN 2026 will be a highly engaging three-day experience designed to simulate real-world diplomacy while offering a dynamic learning environment.

The event will officially kick off with an Opening Ceremony, where delegates and chairs will be welcomed by keynote speakers, followed by an introduction to the conference’s theme and goals.

Over the next three days, delegates will engage in rigorous debates at the British International School of Timișoara, where committees will tackle pressing global issues in line with the UN framework. Delegates will represent their assigned countries, negotiate, form alliances, and draft resolutions on topics ranging from international security to human rights.

Each evening, social events will be held at some of the best spots in Timișoara, including local clubs and cultural venues, offering participants a chance to unwind, network, and enjoy the city’s vibrant atmosphere. These events are an essential part of the experience, allowing delegates to foster connections and build relationships outside the formal conference environment.
