Product overview

OLMUN (Oldenburg Model United Nations) is an annual four-day educational conference for high school students, organized entirely by students themselves.

The conference is supported by the Housing Programme, which places international participants with local host families, and the Daily Diplomat newsletter. Delegates register through an online application portal. OLMUN@Home served as a virtual alternative during the pandemic.

Others

• JUNON (UN Youth Germany): National umbrella association of German UN/MUN youth groups, of which OLMUN has been a member since 2007. Thematically related as the coordinating body for German MUN conferences rather than a direct competitor.

Direct peers

• Frankfurt Model United Nations (FramUN): Annual high-school MUN conference in Frankfurt, Germany. Direct peer within the German MUN ecosystem with comparable scale, student-led organization, and committee-based UN simulation offerings.
• Hamburg Model United Nations (HamMUN): Annual German high-school MUN conference based in Hamburg. Direct peer competing in the same German MUN ecosystem, serving the same school delegations and using similar committee simulation frameworks.
• Deutsche Model United Nations (DMUN): National German MUN conference organized under JUNON (UN Youth) affiliation — the same umbrella network OLMUN belongs to. Direct peer within the German MUN ecosystem sharing JUNON cooperation framework and targeting similar school delegations.
• Munich International Model United Nations (MIMUN): Major German high-school MUN conference based in Munich. Comparable in scale, target audience (high school students), and committee-based UN simulation format, competing for German and international school delegations.
• Berlin Model United Nations (BerlMUN): One of Germany's largest high-school MUN conferences held annually in Berlin. Directly comparable as a German student-organized MUN competing for the same school delegations and offering multiple committee simulations.

Broad incumbents

• The Hague International Model United Nations (THIMUN): One of the world's oldest and most established MUN conference networks, headquartered in The Hague. Comparable as a high-school/youth MUN organizer but operates at a much larger international scale with affiliated regional conferences.
• Harvard Model United Nations (HMUN): One of the most prestigious international high-school MUN conferences, run by Harvard undergraduates. Comparable conference format and high-school target audience but operates at a much larger international scale with strong university backing.
• National Model United Nations (NMUN): Largest UN simulation worldwide, primarily university-level but with significant youth outreach. Comparable in MUN simulation methodology and UN committee format, though it serves a more international and slightly older audience.

Emerging players

• European Youth Parliament (EYP): Europe-wide youth parliamentary debate and diplomacy program targeting similar age groups (high school). Comparable in educational mission around international politics and intercultural exchange, with overlapping but distinct simulation formats.
