Distinguished Delegates and Guests, Honorable Chairs,

On behalf of the Secretariat, I am honoured to welcome you to Maastricht for the 16th conference of EuroMUN 2024.

As I have the honour to be the Secretary General of EuroMUN 2024, I truly hope that I will witness the magic at the core of any Model United Nations: delegate passionately debating over complex international affairs and yet, enthusiastically coming together and forging long-lasting relationships during coffee/ lunch breaks with likeminded people.

I truly believe that Maastricht’s unique atmosphere during springtime will promote peace, cooperation and diplomacy among all of you.

The conference theme ‘Thriving Futures: Responsible Governance in a Digitalised and Globalised World’ could not be more relevant now. We are the future, we need to be able to design sustainable solutions and we are where changes begin. I am more than confident that with the help of our chairs, you will engage in enriching committee debates that will lead to innovative resolutions.

I eagerly look forward to sharing everything we have planned with you.

Best wishes,

Yousra Clemence Achour

Special Thanks Note:

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of our team members without whom the conference would not have been possible. From the academic team to the registrations, logistics and socials, marketing and finance team, every person’s contribution counts.

A special thanks to all the chairs for their engagement and investment in designing the topic and study material to ensure that the academic standards of EuroMUN keep high standards.

Also, thank you to the International Press Corps represented by the Maastricht Diplomat for covering all committee sessions.

Moreover, EuroMUN would not be what it is without UNSA Maastricht, our parent organisation with its governing board and its relentless support throughout the year.

I am personally thankful towards the UNSA Executive Board for their trust and respect for all of us involved in organizing this year's conference. They are always by our side, and their help has been invaluable.

Last but not least, I want to thank you, dear delegate for your participation without your presence and motivation, we would not been here!

We are looking forward to welcome you to EuroMUN in May 2024! We cannot wait to meet you!

On behalf of the EuroMUN Secretariat and Organizing team,

Yousra Clemence Achour

Secretary-General of EuroMUN 2024
