The London International Model United Nations Foundation (The LIMUN Foundation) is a charitable organisation that promotes cultural empathy, understanding of international affairs and awareness of the United Nations among young people. By equipping youth with mediation, analytical and leadership skills, while stressing cosmopolitan values and the interdependence of the modern world, we hope to foster future world leaders who will face global challenges with a spirit of international cooperation. Currently, the LIMUN Foundation runs two conferences: our flagship annual conference in London, the largest university-level Model United Nations in Europe, and an annual secondary school conference, with a focus on opening access to MUN for those students who attend state/state-funded schools or are from under-represented communities. Outside of this, we run multiple outreach, careers, and professional skills initiatives through digital platforms. These include the LIMUN Academy, the world's first virtual integrated debate and training platform for MUN, and a dialogue series in partnership with the United Nations Secretary General's UN75 initiative. LIMUN is coordinated by a voluntary team of students from leading UK universities, including LSE, Imperial, and Cambridge, and overseen by an experienced Board of Trustees. A wider team of Ambassadors and Chairs are sources from global universiies, including Harvard, Berkeley, and NUS. We supported in our work by our Honorary President, The Rt Hon The Lord Malloch-Brown KCMG PC, former UN Deputy Secretary-General to Kofi Annan.
