MUN Society Belgium is an inter-university student club, aimed at broadening the mindset of its members as well as develop abilities like speaking, debating and negotiating by participating in Model United Nations (MUN) conferences around the globe.[1] Since its foundation in 2006, their participation to MUN conferences yielded multiple awards, extensive media coverage and the patronage of the national and regional ministers of Foreign Affairs.[2][3][4][5][6]

History

After participating in the Catalonia Model of United Nations (C'MUN) in 2006, six befriended students from various universities across Belgium founded MUN Society Belgium. The organization started its workings in mid-2006 and experienced a rapid growth in membership as well as in success at MUN conferences all across the world.[7] MUN Society Belgium won the eight latest editions of Oxford International MUN[8] and five times the Harvard WorldMUN.[9] Consequently, MUN Society Belgium is ranked #1[10] in the MUN World Division.

In March 2014 MUN Society Belgium successfully hosted the annual Harvard World Model United Nations (WorldMUN) conference in Brussels.
