The Brussels School of Governance (BSoG) is looking for two teams of four/five talented and ambitious students to partake in the Global Model European Union 2024 simulation.
The Global Model European Union (#GLOBALMEU) conference is a simulation of the European Union organized as a collaboration between colleges and universities around the world. The primary purpose of GLOBALMEU is to provide a framework for a simulation of a European Council meeting, to better educate students about the European Union while giving them an opportunity to interact with students from EU member and candidate states.
Students will be assigned roles in member state delegations, as heads of government or ministers, or as members of the Press Corps.
For the purposes of this conference, there are four Council configurations: European Council (Heads of Government-HoGs), Foreign Affairs Council (FAC), Justice and Home Affairs Council (JHA), and the Environment Council (ENVI). Participants play their assigned country’s respective ministers in these configurations (e.g.: Head of Government, Foreign Affairs minister, Interior ministers, and the Minister responsible for Environment). In addition to playing a minister in one of the 27 member-states of the European Union, BSoG participants might also play as members of the Press Corps (serving as journalists attending the summit meetings and creating the daily newsletter).
The Global MEU Guidebook 2024 will be provided to selected students.
The event will take place between 8 and 9 January 2024 in Brussels.
This call is dedicated to BSoG BA students of all four majors (IA, Business, Communications and Law) and BSoG MA students.
How to participate
The deadline for applications is November 3rd, 2023. Shortlisted candidates will be notified as of November 10th, 2023. Chosen students will undergo 2 training sessions prior to the simulation.
Interested students should prepare a one-page motivation letter and an updated CV (including current GPA). The motivation letter should outline the reasons and motivations for applying, the student’s qualifications and what the student would bring to the team in terms of skills. Prior participation to the SUNY Model EU or similar simulations will be considered a plus.
Please submit your application to Professor Tercovich (giulia.tercovich@vub.be) adding ‘Global MEU 2024” in the subject line.
Best of luck!
