Venue
Our conference will be hosted by 2 venues (walkable distance)
The World Intellectual Property Organisation have very generously offered us the use of its establishment. Located in Geneva, a city whose international and political aspect makes it so unique, location is ideal for delegates to develop their debating capacities in a context that allows them be anchored to a diplomatic environment.
For the Opening Ceremony, we are incredibly lucky to be able to welcome participants to the United Nations Palace. As FERMUN reaches more and more people, our voices become more and more apparent and our ideas are starting to become actual solutions. Being able to witness the transition from an idea to a solution in such an iconic building is the most enriching experience a delegate could have.

FerMUN 2019 : Building sustainable and resilient societies
FerMUN 2019 is organized into 8 committees, in addition to a Security Council and an International Court of Justice. Two major committees deal with Artificial Intelligence, a key subject in future planning. In parallel, the other six committees focus on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), following the guidelines of the High Level Political Forum.
The HLPF is the main United Nations platform on sustainable development and it has a central role in the follow-up and review of the 2030 Agenda and of the Sustainable Development Goals at global level.
Thus, each year, the HLPF focuses on six SDGs surrounding a common theme.
At FerMUN 2019, through discussions with Mr. Bouabid (Representative of the Director General on the United Nations SDGs at WIPO), we decided to follow the priorities chosen by the HLPF, and to have six committees treating one SDG each.
