About

Welcome to VICMUN, which takes place from August 4 to 8, 2025 at the Vienna International Centre (UN Office at Vienna “UNO-City”)! 👏

 

After a successful 1st edition of VICMUN in August 2024 and a “mini” Winter Edition in February 2025, we're organizing our Model UN once again in August - this time with even bigger and better committees! All committee sessions of VICMUN take place in the Vienna International Centre, which is one of the 4 official UN headquarters.

 

What are your personal benefits of participating in VICMUN? 

You will practice your negotiation and rethoric skills, learn more about the history, culture and politics of other countries, meet experts from the Vienna-based UN organizations, get an insight into the work of the UN Headquarter at Vienna and meet people and new friends from other UN associations, universities and schools around the world.
