Welcome to
CITE-MUN
Model United Nations (MUN) is an academic simulation of the United Nations, where students step into the roles of diplomats representing different countries or organizations. Participants engage in debates, draft resolutions, and negotiate solutions to global challenges, all while following formal UN procedures.
CITE-MUN – the first ever MUN in the university’s books – takes this concept a step further by integrating global policymaking with technical challenges in chemical engineering. It provides a platform for students, researchers, and professionals to engage in high-level discussions on sustainability, energy transition, industrial safety, and chemical regulations. By bridging the gap between engineering innovation and policy development, CITE-MUN fosters collaboration between science and diplomacy to tackle the world’s most pressing issues.
The world is built on policy,
it is time to build yours!
