About

Welcome to the second-ever edition of the Tilburg Model United Nations (TIMUN)! 🙌

We are thrilled to invite you to join us from April 24 to 26th, 2026, in the vibrant city of Tilburg for an eventful debating experience.


TIMUN Conference 2026 is hosted by the Tilburg Model United Nations Society at Tilburg University. This event is another step towards a long-lasting tradition. Whether you are an experienced delegate or just starting in the world of MUN, without a doubt, this conference will provide you with the opportunity to challenge your skills and connect with other like-minded individuals from around the world. 

The theme for TIMUN 2026 is "Back to the Future"

On this year's conference we invite you all to reassess and re-engage with international frameworks, topics and debates that could be found in the past. Many treaties, resolutions and initiatives have been lost to history because they were ineffective, too ambitious or deemed as unimportant.

Noting how quickly the world is progressing today and how rapidly things are changing we must ask ourselves: "Isn't it time to learn from our past mistakes?"

We must bring back to the table discussions that will shape the future, otherwise the history will outrun us all.
