Association
In 2002, BIMUN/SINUB e. V. was founded by students of Bonn University with the goal to hold an annual Model United Nations conference. Ever since, teams of volunteering students have supported and extended the association’s activities. Our self-conception is based on the idea of raising awareness about issues of international significance and promoting the ideals of the United Nations, especially among younger people. The main focus of our work is to foster cultural exchange as well as political education and international understanding. BIMUN/SINUB e.V. is a non-profit organization.
Structure
The plenary assembly of members is the basic organ of BIMUN/SINUB e.V. and convenes about four times a year. It annually elects a new executive board which consists of six to twelve members. Aside from the Secretary-General and the Deputy Secretary-General, several heads of divisions contribute to the success of the conference. The executive board holds the sole responsibility for the activities of the association and the preparation of the annual conference. It is supported by freelance team members.
Since 2005, former members of the executive board are given the opportunity to join the advisory board and share their work experience and contacts. The advisory board provides overall support to the executive board and the team members of BIMUN/SINUB e.V. In addition, a knowledge management system facilitates the work of the executive board. Today, our association has more than 60 members. A dedicated team of students works independently and professionally throughout the whole year to make the 2010 BIMUN/SINUB Conference a unique experience for everybody involved.
