ETH MUN
ETH Model United Nations was founded in 2007 by two enthusiastic students who knew about the principle of Model United Nations and could not bear this idea of not being implemented at Europe’s leading technological university. Ever since that moment, members of ETH MUN have organized weekly meetings to simulate the work and the intense debates of the UN and to prepare for international MUN conferences.Today, ETH MUN is one of the biggest commissions of the VSETH (Students’ Union of the ETH) with an ever growing number of members and an active Alumni network.
FriMUN
FriMUN - Fribourg Model United Nations - is an organisation of the University of Fribourg that simulates the General Assembly of the United Nations. Being open to all students, FriMUN is one of the most welcoming student societies at the University of Fribourg.

At the beginning, the main purpose of our student organisation was to serve as a platform for a handful of members to participate in international MUNs, such as WorldMUN and discussing global issues which need to be addressed. Now, the objective of the association has developed to raising students’ interest in global issues and to give them the opportunity to participate in debates, workshops as well as national and international MUN Conferences.
