What can I expect from the conference?

 

-> If you participate at our conference, you will be participating in a very well established and organized MUN conference, we have been doing this for 20 years. You can find a family within our association and participants. You will be debating at the UN City of Germany, and will meet inspiring people such as our keynote and committee speakers. You will have lots of fun and we will make sure that you have an incredible time at BIMUN/SINUB 2022!

​

What are the committees at this year's conference?

​

-> We are having four different committees and a press team for which you can apply.

The press team is called BIMUN Tribune and as a journalist in the press team you will have the possibility to report about the debates in the committees.

If you would like to represent a country and discuss about international politics, you should join one of our four debating committees which are the UN Security Council, Human Rights Council, European Council, International Labor Organization and UNICEF.

​

Can I be sure that I will be able to represent one of the countries that were listed in my priorities in the application form?

​

-> We are trying our best to fulfill your wishes and try to give everyone their highest priority. 

​

I have never participated at a MUN before, can I still participate without problems?

 

-> Yes, you can! We are more than happy to welcome first-time-MUNers at our conference in Bonn. Don't be afraid to apply. Everything will be explained for you in detail and of course you are always allowed to ask questions.

​

Are there any special committees for beginners?

 

-> Yes, there are! The Human Rights Council and UNICEF are classified as “beginner committees”. If you already have some experience, you can also choose the European Council. Just choose a committee with topics that you are interested in. Every committee will integrate you into the debates and you will be able to learn a lot about MUNing from more experienced MUNers.

 

I would like to participate, but I don't know what the fee is for participating as a journalist or delegate?

 

-> In the first wave (September 6 to September 20) there will be an early bird price of € 100. If you still need some time to think about an application, you can apply in the second wave (October 6 to October 20). However, the fee will be € 110 then.

​

What is included in the fee?

 

-> You will have access to participate at our debates, have a lunch each day, snacks and coffee at the coffee breaks, have access to our social parties including our gala night, receive a goodie bag, have the opportunity to join our pre-program at the UN building in Bonn, visit the old city hall, and have lots of fun!!

 

When do I need to pay the fee?

​

-> After you have applied our Participants department will contact you and will send you the bank details to which you have to transfer the money.

The Deadline for the first wave is the 30th of September and for the second wave it’s October 25.

Just when you have transferred the money, you will receive your allocated country.

 

I cannot participate anymore at the conference, but I already paid. Can I get my money back?

 

-> Yes, if you decide to no longer participate at BIMUN/SINUB 2021, you can cancel your application and receive your money back, but only if you cancel before the 30th of September or 20th of October!! (Check Terms and Conditions.)

 

I would like to participate, but I don't have a place to stay in Bonn, what can I do?

 

-> If you are a single delegate, travelling alone, we will take care of reserving hotels for you. In the application process you can state whether you need accommodation. 

 

I am a vegetarian. Will there be a vegetarian food option at all times?

​

-> Yes! We are a Green Conference and therefore it is important to us to just offer healthy and climate-neutral food if possible.

​

I have certain food allergies and/or intolerances. Is it possible to get special food during the conference?

​

-> Please list your allergies and/or intolerances in the application form. We will then try our best to offer you food that you are able to eat. In case our caterer cannot provide that, we will contact you beforehand and try to find a solution together with you.

​

I will need a visa to attend, what do I need to know?

 

-> If you need a visa to come to Germany we urge you to apply within the first wave, afterwards we are not able accept your application anymore due to time reasons. BIMUN/SINUB e.V. will provide you with a letter of invitation to enable an easier application process for the visa, however you are responsible to fill out all the needed documents and inform yourself. We can recommend to visit the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Germany.
