Section 1

Identity

Exactly as written on your national identity card or passport. This is the name that goes on the attendee list, and the venue checks it at the door.

Section 2

Academic and linguistic profile

Languages, self-rated

Section 3

Motivation essays

Readers see these without your name, school or city. Write plainly. Word limits are strict.

On the use of AI. Declared use of a language tool is permitted and not penalised. Undeclared use is an integrity matter: essays are compared against the writing you produce live in the workshops.

Section 4

MUN and public-speaking background

Experience is not required. A share of places is reserved for first-timers and a share for experienced delegates.

Section 5

Conference preferences

Rank the four committees. Most delegates receive their first or second choice.

Section 6

Funding and logistics

This section is need-blind. Your answers here are stored in a separate table, visible only to the association's President, and are never seen by anyone judging your application. They are opened only after selection, to organise travel and accommodation for those who need it.

Every field below is optional. If you leave it blank, we take it that you are not requesting assistance. If you are, answer honestly; it cannot hurt your application.

Household

Section 7

Identity document and declarations

Identity document. A clear photo of your national identity card (the front) or the photo page of your passport, taken with your phone. The photo is converted on your device before it is sent, encrypted on our server, seen only by the admissions team, and used for the venue's attendee list. No PDF or scanned files: a photo is enough.

Declarations. Each one is required.

By submitting you confirm that everything above is true and that the essays are your own work, as declared in Section 3.
