Who we are?

The University Maastricht United Nations Student Association is an inter-facultary, non-profit student organisation. Here, enthusiastic and motivated students engage in various activities with the aim to enhance knowledge on the United Nations, international diplomacy as well as raise awareness of pressing world issues. An essential part of our mission is to spur critical and challenging debate on the UN the role it plays and the challenges it faces in the contemporary world.

What we do?

The UNSA has the goal to inform, educate and mobilise students. We collect and provide information about the structure and the work of the United Nations. We train various negotiation techniques and skills. After having acquired the factual and theoretical background, we invite students to actively participate in mock simulation games of selected United Nations working committees. Lectures by prominent speakers and visits to foreign embassies as well as important UN sites are also part of our programme. Furthermore, we announce upcoming Model United Nations conferences (MUN) within the Netherlands and abroad, where students have the chance to experience negotiations in an international environment. The UNSA encourages students to participate in MUNs and assists them in their successful preparation. From 2008 onwards we plan to host an annual, international Model United Nations conference (EuroMUN) with 500 students engaging in contructive debate and challenging negotiations.
