KULMUN2023: Diplomacy Redefined - Navigating through a Sea of Global Challenges
March 7 - March 11
The KULMUN conference of 2023 is all about coming up with new solutions to face globally threatening, constantly recurring problems. Think about issues such as climate change, political instability, economic crises... While we hope to near the end of a world-wide pandemic, we ought to look for new opportunities to rebuild and improve our societies. It is up to the diplomats and politicians of tomorrow to cooperate and tackle these global challenges.
In March 2023 we will organize our second hybrid conference. Just like last year, most of our committees will be held in real life during our physical conference in Leuven. However, the ongoing pandemic taught us that online platforms offer great opportunities to overcome time and space. That is why we have again decided to organize one of our committees (UN Women) on an online platform. Unlike the in-person conference, this committee will last from March 9 to March 11. Because of this online option, you no longer have to miss out on our conference due to time or travel constraints. Find out more about our digital UN Women committee on the 'Topics and Committees'-webpage.
