Harvard World Model United Nations (WorldMUN) travels to a different city every year, with the goal of fostering authentic cross-cultural connections. Our conferences are guided by the ‘WorldMUN spirit,’ a principle that encourages friendship and cooperation across borders, along with a deeper understanding of cultures and perspectives beyond one’s own. As the world’s most diverse collegiate model UN conference, past WorldMUN destinations have included Rome (2016), Montreal (2017), Panama City (2018), Madrid (2019), Taipei (2024), Manila (2025), Lima (2026) with addresses from Pope Francis (2016) and King Felipe VI of Spain (2019). The 35th iteration of WorldMUN will take place in Riga, Latvia, in conjunction with the Latvia team, an independent MUN organizing team composed of students and graduates from various universities. Building on the success of our conferences in Lima and Manila, we are proud to announce WorldMUN 2027, our third conference since the pandemic lockdown. Our leadership team consists of eight Secretariat members, all of whom bring extensive experience organizing conferences and large-scale events. With a strong foundation in diplomacy, logistics, and academic programming, the Secretariat is committed to delivering a world-class conference in Riga. Supporting their vision are ten committee chairs, who bring diverse academic and regional expertise. This year’s committees explore a wide range of urgent global and historical issues, from urban equity and global food security to the 1918 influenza pandemic and nuclear diplomacy. Looking ahead, WorldMUN 2027 marks our long-awaited return to Eastern Europe—our first since Budapest, Hungary, in 1997. As the global community continues to navigate complex, interconnected challenges, this moment offers an opportunity to reengage with a vital region rich in history, culture, and international influence. We hope this conference in Riga will not only celebrate cross-cultural exchange but also strengthen the spirit of global collaboration that defines the WorldMUN experience. We look forward to welcoming you to Riga in March 2027.
