The Mediterranean Model United Nations (MEDMUN) is a student-run MUN conference that welcomes every year almost 400 highly motivated participants from distinguished high schools and universities across the world.
The 11th edition of MEDMUN will take place between March 31 and April 2 in Sciences Po Paris' Mediterranean and Middle Eastern campus, in Menton. This setting will allow stakeholders to confront themselves with the quality of the debates entertained in one of the world’s renowned “Grandes Écoles”, whilst enjoying the idyllic panoramas of the so-called “pearl of France”.
MEDMUN features 17 committees – both General Assembly and Crisis committees, held in French, English, Arabic, Italian, Spanish, and Turkish – and is centred on Mediterranean issues concerning Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. This regional focus is reflected in our theme for the 11th edition: “Between instability and sustainability: 17 strategies towards long-lasting development in the Mediterranean”.
With the Sustainable Development Goals in mind, MEDMUN’s theme expects its Delegates to apply advanced critical-thinking and creative problem-solving skills, and to cooperate closely and effectively in the search for inclusive and enduring prosperity and well-being in the region. Simultaneously, participants will listen to and establish connections with prominent guest speakers, both during the General Ceremonies and in their respective committees.
We look forward to welcoming stakeholders to MEDMUN 2023, a conference that promises to be a memorable opportunity for students to expand their network, deepen their knowledge and understanding of Mediterranean issues, and forge new friendships.
*Please note: you must pay the conference fees only once you have been accepted and assigned to a committee.*

After the death of Mahsa Amini Protests have been going on and off. Following cycles of mass protests and severe repression putting a temporary halt to uprising until a new incident reignites the fire of indignation and revolution. On June 3, 2024, 35 years after the death of Ruhollah Khomeini, supreme leader Ali Khamenei is announced dead although the causes of his death remain unclear. This event puts Iran into a power vacuum. Different factions try to take control of the country. The army, political officials, student protestors all struggle to control the country whilst American and Russian secret services try to influence this power struggle in their favour. Will liberal democracy prevail or will Iran maintain its struggle with authoritarianism?
