About FS Model United Nations

The student initiative FS Model United Nations sees itself as a platform for all students (across all courses) of Frankfurt School of Finance & Management who are interested in political simulations, especially UN simulations (Model United Nations).

In this respect, it supports the education of FS students - in knowledge (politics and economics) as  well as in personal skills (rhetorics and negotiation strategies). Each participant of a Model United Nations conference represents a UN member country in simulated committee meetings (e.g. the UN General Assembly or the UN Security Council). In order to do so, he or she has to learn about this country’s position before the conference and identify with its goals of negotiation. The simulations lead to an issue of resolutions or reports.

Independently of its function as a platform for MUN-interested students, it is the proclaimed goal of this initiative to enable the participation in the NMUN in New York and/or Harvard WorldMUN for as many students as possible each year. With more than 4000 participants and up to 20 simulated committees, both of these simulations are seen as the largest and most professional of its kind. Because of their size, delegations have to meet and apply beforehand to be assigned a single member country, which they will then (in teams of two people each) represent in all its simulated committees.
