Can LIMUN offer any financial support for delegates attending the conference?
We are unable to offer any financial assistance to delegates participating in LIMUN, but maintain a low delegate fee to ensure wide access. Exceptions are made for delegates participating in the Outreach program. Please contact the Secretariat to find out more.
Is LIMUN suitable for school/college students as well as university students?
Yes. Depending on skills, LIMUN is suitable for school or college students in Year 12 and Year 13. We regret that we do not accept applications from younger delegates. Typically around 5% of delegates are school or college students. If you are from a school, please read the application instructions carefully before paying your fee.
Due to the safety concerns of venue staff, some social events may be restricted to delegates over the age of 18, although LIMUN does its best to minimise such restrictions.
I have never participated in a MUN conference before. Can I still attend the conference?
LIMUN is suitable for all types of delegates, both beginners and veterans. You are welcome to participate in the conference even if you have never participated in MUN simulations in the past.
There will be training workshops at the beginning of the conference to ensure that you are able to fully participate and enjoy the debate over the weekend.
Throughout the conference there will also be plenty of members from the Secretariat team present to answer any questions you have.
How do I prepare for the conference?
Once you have applied and been allocated a country and committee, you should do research that country’s position on the tolimun.org.uk/limun.org.uk/pics you are going to discuss.
Another useful tool are our Committee Guides, which will be posted in the committees area of the website in late December. You might also want to have a look at the United Nations' own website for more information about the tolimun.org.uk/limun.org.uk/pics on the LIMUN agenda.
The faculty advisor is normally a member of teaching staff who is responsible for organizing and training a delegation before they attend the conference. Faculty advisors who do not participate as a delegate at the conference are exempt from paying the delegate fee, as long as they register with a delegation.
Can LIMUN assist me with finding accommodation in London during the conference?
The LIMUN Secretariat unfortunately cannot actively assist delegates with finding accommodation in London during the conference. However, we have created a list of suggested accommodation that may be helping you.
I am an overseas delegate and I therefore need a visa to attend the conference. Can you help?
We can arrange to send you individual invitation letters for visa purposes after you have registered as a delegate/delegation. Please follow the instructions on the registration page. For more information about the visa requirements please visit the governmental website.
Can I store my luggage at the conference venue during opening and closing ceremonies?
There is unfortunately no luggage storage available for delegates during the opening and closing ceremonies, so we request that you please try to drop your luggage of at your accommodation before coming to register.
What is the dress code for the conference?
Male delegates should present themselves in lounge or business suits, shirts and ties. Female delegates should wear smart feminine equivalent.
