Frequently asked questions.
Everything people ask before applying.
What is ULB MUN?
ULB MUN is an award-winning Model United Nations delegation at the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB), in Brussels. Each academic year it selects and trains a team of ULB students, who then represent the entire delegation at different MUN simulations throughout the year.
What is Model United Nations?
Model United Nations is a simulation of UN bodies in which students act as the diplomats of an assigned country. Delegates research their country's positions, write position papers, give speeches, negotiate in formal and informal sessions and draft resolutions following UN rules of procedure.
Who can join the delegation?
ULB students who speak English fluently, follow global affairs and can commit time throughout the academic year. No specific degree is required: the 2025 delegation brought together students of political science, economics, law, arts and communication.
How do I apply?
Apply through the delegate application form. Each academic year starts with an information session that explains the selection process and what is expected of delegates; its date is announced on Instagram (@theulbmun).
How much does it cost to be a delegate?
ULB MUN raises funds from partners and supporters so that a student's financial situation never decides whether they can take part. Contributions cover training materials, travel and accommodation, participation fees and the year's events.
What does the training involve?
Weekly meetings throughout the year: writing and delivering speeches under time limits, writing formal position papers, negotiating resolutions in informal sessions with up to 50 delegates, and UN rules of procedure. The year also includes several simulations, in Brussels with other universities and abroad.
What skills do delegates develop?
Public speaking, negotiation, diplomatic writing, research on international issues, and working in English in a multicultural team — the same skills used in diplomacy, international organisations, law and policy work.
Where is the next conference?
In London: the delegation takes part in LIMUN 2027 (London International Model United Nations) from 19 to 21 February 2027. Each delegate represents a country and a committee.
Has ULB MUN won awards?
Yes. ULB MUN received the Outstanding Delegation award in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2022 and 2024, the Distinguished Delegation award in 2011, 2012, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2025, and an Honourable Mention in 2023.
Can I join the board instead of the delegation?
The only way to join the association is by becoming a delegate.
How can an organisation support ULB MUN?
Through financial support, in-kind help such as communication, event hosting or visibility exchanges, or a partnership on events. Write to the association by email to discuss what fits.
Where is ULB MUN based?
At the Université libre de Bruxelles in Brussels, Belgium. The association's postal address is ULB — CP 105, Avenue Franklin Roosevelt 50, 1050 Brussels.
