Excellent performance of diplomacy students at the Model United Nations in London

On 21-23 February 2025, a multinational group of 12 students from the Department of EU International Relations and Diplomacy Studies represented the College of Europe with great success at the 26th edition of the London International Model United Nations Conference (LIMUN). Several months of preparation for this activity, with the active support by two Academic Assistants, resulted in a first-rate performance by the students who were involved in researching different topics, drafting position papers, working documents and resolutions as well as engaging in negotiations with other delegates from across the world on the premises of King’s College London.
