What is MUN?

Model United Nations (MUN) is a simulation of the United Nations (UN) and international bodies such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the UN agency responsible for global public health.

Participants act as diplomats representing countries to debate global issues, negotiate solutions, and draft joint resolutions. Delegates must research their country’s positions, follow formal procedures, and engage in strategic, respectful negotiation.

In WHO-focused simulations, students tackle global health challenges and propose collective solutions—gaining insight into international health governance while building key skills in public speaking, policy analysis, negotiation, and intercultural collaboration.

About EUGLOH MUN

EUGLOH-MUN is a 3-day international simulation held at Université Paris-Saclay, bringing together students from all EUGLOH partner universities to explore global health governance through diplomacy.
