Online Spring Model UN: An International Academic Competitions Online Conference
Saturday, April 10, 2027 · Online

Students in grades 4 through 8 are invited to step into the role of world diplomats at the IAC Online Spring Model UN Conference, a one-day event organized by International Academic Competitions (IAC). IAC Model UN conferences are designed specifically for elementary and middle school students. They suit delegates attending their first-ever conference as well as those with more Model UN experience. Delegates compete from home and can join from anywhere in the world. Students are welcome to take part as a school group, but this is not required.

This conference features a single Standard Committee session in the afternoon. The topic for the Standard Committee is Immigration to Europe: Political Tinderbox, Humanitarian Challenge, and Demographic Cliff. Students receive their country assignments two weeks before the conference, and a background guide is available here.

Please also review IAC’s Expectations and Rules for Standard Committees.

Depending on enrollment, delegates may be grouped into committees by grade. However the committees are formed, separate awards are given for each grade. This conference uses IAC’s Topic Set 2, so students who attended a Topic Set 1 conference earlier in the season are welcome to compete again here.

Award winners become eligible for the Model UN National Championships, held each Memorial Day weekend in Orlando, Florida. Model UN awards can also qualify students for IAC’s international summer events, including the 2027 International History Olympiad in Berlin and the 2028 International Geography Championships, which are planned for Stockholm.
