Delegation Paris 2023
Paris, France is one of the great culture capitals of the world. For centuries, great thinkers in the fields of art, science, history, politics, and economics have flocked to La Ville Lumière to expand their horizons. The city's past, however, may not be half as interesting as its future. Today, Paris is a modern hub for innovation where the latest advancements in technology, science, and research happen right alongside some of Europe's most iconic historical monuments.
In March of 2023, a delegation from the Friedrich Schiller University will travel to Paris to participate in the Harvard WorldMUN conference from 12.03. to 16.03. The delegation is made up of 10 FSU students from all over the world who represent a variety of academic disciplines. At the conference, each of these students will represent the delegation's member country by participating in committees, giving speeches, and negotiating and drafting resolutions.
This will be the first WorldMUN that FSU students will attend in person since the start of the pandemic, so the delegation is really looking forward to it!
