It is with great pleasure that the team of the Reims International Model United Nations invites you to our 11th annual conference: RIMUN 2022.
From April 8th to the 10th, 2022, more than 350 university and high school students will gather on the Reims campus of Sciences Po Paris (1 Place Museux, Reims 51100) to debate, negotiate, and solve pressing global issues.
Sciences Po Paris Reims campus, host of Euro-American and Euro-African studies, is part of the network of French schools of excellence, which ranks 2nd in the QS 2021 ranking in "Political Science and International Relations". In view of this ecosystem, it is our ambition to participate in establishing the MUN culture on French territory.
Our 3-day conference will present an exciting and innovative model of the United Nations with English or French committees for all levels of expertise, from beginner to advanced, under the central theme "Shifting the spotlights: amplifying your voices". In these times of increasing polarization, our hope is that RIMUN22 committee topics will touch the delegates’ interests to unite them in pushing forward any subjugated opinions and struggles, even though controversial, to figure out issues at core, while collaborating with each other to solve contemporary transnational challenges.
On Friday the 8th, the RIMUN opening ceremony will be held in a landmark of Reims: the saloons of the town hall. Over the past 10 years, RIMUN’s opening ceremony has hosted guest speakers such as Mrs. Isabelle Hudson, Ambassador of Canada to France, or Mr. Jean-Maurice Ripert, former French Ambassador to Russia and China, as well as diplomats and foreign affairs experts from around the world. This year will be no exception. In addition to diplomats, this 11th edition will be honored by the presence of the Interim Director of the Sciences Po Reims Campus Crystal Cordell Paris, but also of Rémy Tirouttouvarayane, a highly experienced French Diplomat who is currently a Conseiller at the Parlement Européen. After the ceremony, our participants are treated to a cocktail of Reims' special sparkling wine: champagne.
The conference will also include a gala at Pommery Champagne House on the night of Saturday the 9th. In addition to the exceptional academic experience, RIMUN promises an overall experience driven by building friendships and networking while partying as queens and kings.
