Years of excellence
Rooted in liberal learning. Connected to the world.
The AUB Model United Nations Conference (AUBMUNC) is a student-led conference headquartered at the American University of Beirut, one of the Arab world's most prestigious institutions. Since our founding, we have brought together students from across Lebanon and the wider region through rigorous diplomatic simulations that foster debate, collaboration, and intellectual growth.
Rooted in AUB's commitment to liberal learning and civic engagement, our work mirrors the real challenges confronting the United Nations—from climate security and global economic governance to international humanitarian law.
