What is a Model United Nations (MUN)? A Model United Nations (MUN) is a conference that authentically simulates negotiations of specific committees and organs of the United Nations. Additionally, the purpose of a Model United Nations is to raise awareness about pressing global issues and to provide a platform to foster lively debates among participants. Therefore, a MUN is not only an event where one can meet with lots of different young people from all over the world, but it is also a serious role play. There, the participants find themselves in the position of a delegate of a foreign country and have to negotiate and discuss for saving the national interests of his/her country. What is the Vienna International Model United Nations (VIMUN)? The Vienna International Model United Nations (VIMUN) is organized by the Academic Forum for Foreign Affairs (AFA) already since 1995.
