DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Are you interested in international politics, diplomacy, negotiation, or the work of the United Nations? Do you want to meet students from across Europe, strengthen your public speaking skills, and experience multilateral diplomacy first-hand in one of the UN capitals of the world?\nThen apply now for the EELISA Model United Nations Academy | Vienna Edition 2026!\nOrganised within the EELISA European University Alliance, the EELISA Model UN Academy combines an online preparatory programme with a week-long, in-person study trip to Vienna, Austria, where participants will engage firsthand with the world of international diplomacy and the United Nations.\nThe Academy is open to students from all disciplines and study backgrounds. While students from political science, international relations, law, economics, and business are warmly invited, the Academy specifically also encourages applications from students in STEM subjects such as engineering, natural sciences, computer science, and environmental sciences.

The Academy further introduces students to the United Nations system, the Rules of Procedure used in Model UN conferences, and the Vienna-based UN organisations working on topics such as nuclear science and technology, non-proliferation and disarmament, outer space, and environmental protection.\nThe Academy consists of two parts:[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][vc_column_text css=””]Preparatory Programme (Online/Hybrid)\n– Kick-off Meeting: 03 June 2026 (online only)\n– 1st Training Weekend: 13–14 June 2026 (hybrid)\n– 2nd Training Weekend: 18–19 July 2026 (hybrid)\nDuring the preparatory phase, students will attend interactive seminars, workshops, negotiation and speech trainings, and collaborative group activities with students from across the EELISA network and beyond[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][vc_column_text css=””]In-Person Mobility to Vienna\n– Study trip incl.
