Model UN Experience: Some MUN committees, such as the Security Council, call for experienced delegates to maintain the necessary level of debate. P5 nations, including Russia, USA, China, France and the UK, are delegations that are expected to be actively participative in all debates by continuously raising points of information, giving out speeches, and submitting brilliant clauses and amendments.

Time of Registration: We prioritize schools and individuals who have applied inside the Regular Registration deadline. On the contrary, if you have applied through Late Registration, your preferences may not be met.

Number of spots requested (Schools): Schools may get up to 3 different delegations, depending on the spots they hold. A country must first be represented in every committee (excluding the Security Council) for another nation to be assigned.

Country and Committee preferences: Available in the application form, individuals and schools may provide us with their preferences. However, this is no guarantee, but helpful input we will undoubtedly take into account.

clause on personal belongings and lost objects

The BIMUN Association, in collaboration with ESADE Ramon Llull University, is pleased to welcome attendees to our annual conference held in Barcelona and Sant Cugat. As the conference utilizes multiple venues, including but not limited to the ESADE campus, Hotel El Sant Cugat, and Hotel Venture, it is important for all participants to be aware of the following policy regarding personal belongings:

Responsibility for Personal Belongings: Each participant is solely responsible for their personal belongings during the conference. The BIMUN Association and ESADE Ramon Llull University, along with their partners, affiliates, and venue providers, shall not be held liable for the loss, theft, or damage of any personal items, regardless of whether such loss occurs within the premises of the ESADE campus, Hotel El Sant Cugat, Hotel Venture, or any other conference-associated venues.

Lost and Found: A Lost and Found facility will be available during the conference. Found items will be collected and can be reclaimed by their owners upon adequate proof of ownership. Please note that while we offer this service for the convenience of our attendees, the presence of a Lost and Found does not constitute an assumption of responsibility by the BIMUN Association, ESADE Ramon Llull University, or the conference venues for lost items.

Recommendation: Participants are strongly advised to keep personal belongings secure and carry valuable items with them at all times or leave them in a secure location. We encourage all attendees to label their items with their contact information to facilitate recovery in case of loss.
