Live the experience of representing your country in UN committees from April 4 to 6 and obtain 2 ECTS from the UPM general catalogue in this accreditable activity.
The School of Agricultural, Food and Biosystems Engineering (ETSIAAB) will host the fourth edition of the UPMMUN (UPM Model of United Nations). This United Nations simulation model will be held from April 4 to 6, 2025. This initiative, accreditable with 2 ECTS, offers a unique chance to join technical training in the global context in an international and multicultural environment.
Participants will act as delegates at the UPMMUN, representing a country assigned within a United Nations committee to reach agreements on specific issues of international relevance. Topics addressed at the UPMMUN are closely linked to technological development and innovation, blending the official rules of procedure of the United Nations to guide debates and agree on resolutions.
Since this activity will be carried out entirely in English and will involve students from other universities of the EELISA Alliance, applicants must have good communication and negotiation skills in English, with a minimum level of B2.

- CSTD (United Nations Commission on Science and Technology for Development)
