UNMUN Model United Nations
February 5-7, 2026
Dear Delegates, Academic Staff, and Professors:
It is my deepest honor to welcome you to the 13th annual edition of the University of Navarra Model United Nations. This year's conference will take place from February 5th to 7th, 2026, on our beautiful campus in Pamplona, Spain. Serving as Secretary-General for a conference renowned for its academic excellence and spirit of innovation, which is fully dedicated to expanding the knowledge and capabilities of our participants, has been both a rewarding and challenging journey. I am fortunate to work alongside a team wholly committed to delivering the best UNMUN conference to date. Together, we aim to showcase the excellence of the University of Navarra and its School of Law, and to demonstrate the opportunities and achievements that being a student here makes possible.
Attending UNMUN is not an ordinary MUN experience. When you place yourself at our campus in Pamplona, you are entering one of the biggest multicultural experiences of your life as we are fortunate to have more than 30 nationalities studying in the same place. Being at our university will for sure be a lifelong cherished experience as you share the same spaces where our students learn to become citizens prepared for an increasingly complex global context.
It is no secret that our world is facing a period of profound challenges, leading to revise the systems from top to bottom. No one is exempt from the effects that these changes are having, and will continue to have, on society. Yet, at UNMUN we firmly believe that difficulties and challenges bring up opportunities for transformation, leading us to find once again the path towards the maintenance of the common good.
Here, we do not only expect you to be motivated students; we invite you to become leaders of tomorrow and advocates for positive change. We encourage you to confront your fears, challenge your doubts, and embrace the chance to contribute to the betterment of society. UNMUN is a space for dialogue where you can raise your voice but also listen deeply and build from the perspectives of others. What our world needs are people who can move beyond a single viewpoint to find common ground. This is your opportunity to gain understanding from all perspectives, paving the way toward a more stable and inclusive world.
From the secretariat and our academic team of UNMUN 2026, we hope you will have a great time during the three intense dates of discussion. We hope at the end of the conference you are not only motivated to become an actor for good, but also to gain enduring connections and long-lasting friendships.
Looking forward to seeing you in our campus,
Nicolás Estévez Barco
Secretary-General UNMUN 2026
What is a United Nations model ?
The model of the United Nations dates back to the beginning of the 20th century with the creation of the League of Nations, based on simulations of it, later transitioning, and officially establishing itself as model with the establishment of the United Nations in 1945.
It is a simulation that seeks to imitate the procedures of the United Nations to find solutions to real problems, through negotiation tools, discussion, and discussion, promoting processes of research, learning, and academic growth and staff.
In an increasingly globalized and interconnected world, these models allow an opportunity for students to see firsthand the relevance of diplomatic processes, and to understand the decisions of their countries as well as create awareness of the consequences that these can have, hence their importance and the relevance of diplomacy.
Thus, for more than a century, these conferences have seen the creation of agents of change, motivated by the idea of a better world and using international cooperation as tool for this.
What is a UNMUN?
The University of Navarra was founded in 1952 with the dream of training students who could be aware of the importance and dedication to service, by means of different tools that they employ through specialized study.
Since 2013, the initiative of model of the United Nations has been added as part of an academic training that allows to create in its students a culture of commitment, service, and passion for making their world a better place.
After more than a decade, UNMUN has managed to establish itself as one of the most anticipated events for students of the University. It is a space where they can highlight their best skills discussion, sharing with students not only from the university but soon also with students from other countries, creating a multicultural and multifaceted opportunity that gives students a first-hand experience for the development dynamic of their academic growth.
