We invite interested schools in Qatar to apply for a team of six student delegates (one delegation) to the conference. The conference will not interfere with school timings. The maximum we can accommodate is up to TWO delegations or 12 students per school. However, we cannot guarantee two delegations for each school, it will be on a first-come-first-served basis. We do not accept individual delegates, if your school applies for its own delegation(s). If your school does not have a MUN club or MUN counselor, please email us at qatarmun@georgetown.edu.
Please note that committee and country allocations will be sent to the school counselors on first come first served basis. We encourage schools to apply as soon as possible to secure their spots!
