IDIA and Rutgers University present

Philadelphia Model United Nations

Welcome to PhilMUN!

PhilMUN 2025 will take place from February 20-23.

Philadelphia Model United Nations is our second conference of the Model UN season. This program of the Institute for Domestic & International Affairs, Inc., started empowering students in 2007 when we chose to hold a conference outside of New Jersey. PhilMUN has grown dramatically in size since the first year, bringing many students together to discuss and address global issues.

PhilMUN is characterized by its in-depth topic briefs, well-trained staff, and small committee sizes. Backed by IDIA, all PhilMUN staffers are Rutgers undergraduate students who complete a year-long training program before running the conference. Attend to learn why PhilMUN is one of the best conferences for your delegates, novice and veteran alike.

From the Secretary-General

As Secretary-General, I am excited to invite you to Philadelphia Model United Nations 2025! The conference will take place February 20th-23rd, 2025 at the Philadelphia Marriott Old City.

The regional focus of PhilMUN 2025 will be Eastern Europe. As a region in which boundaries were defined by the Iron Curtain and political fallout, Eastern Europe faces many distinctive and critical issues surrounding democracy that stem from its totalitarian past. For this reason, the theme of PhilMUN 2025 will examine the growing threat of democratic backsliding within Eastern Europe, as well as its effects on the political, social, and economic systems of involved nations.

If you have any questions, especially about registration or the conference itself, feel free to contact us at [email protected]. Prior to the conference, the Secretariat, along with the rest of our staff, is available to provide information or do outreach programs to help schools prepare.

We look forward to meeting you all in February at PhilMUN 2025!

Best, 

Alyssa Rozario
