Preparing for LIMUN
We understand that preparing for MUN conferences, especially conferences as big as LIMUN, can get daunting for beginner and experienced delegates alike. We pride ourselves in offering the best possible academic experience for our delegates, and as such, the University Conference Secretariat has put together a series of guides that should help demystify the conference process. On this page, you will find our official and most authoritative set of rules governing the conduct of debate, called the LIMUN Rules of Procedure. You will also find a set of guides on producing high-impact written submissions and preparing for MUN debates through research.
As a delegate, you will also get exclusive access to pre-conference webinars during which our Academics Team will run you through the Rules of Procedure and everything you need to know to excel at LIMUN 2026.
Logistics Handbook
To help you plan your trip to London for LIMUN 2026, we’ve prepared a Logistics Handbook featuring all key venues and our official hotel partners, where exclusive delegate discounts are available.

Rules of Procedure (RoP) from the 2025 Conference
The LIMUN Rules of Procedure (RoP) is the authoritative set of rules that governs every aspect of the debate experience at LIMUN. If at any time there is doubt about the procedure during the conference weekend, the procedure in the RoP document will be used.

We also provide an easy-to-read, short summary of the RoP:
An updated version of the University Conference Rules of Procedure will be approved and published by the 12th of January 2026. We do not expect this to be significantly different from the 2025 version.
