No, you do not have to have any MUN experience.  We only need your enthusiasm!

You can register with a group, but you can also participate as an individual. To register please fill in the registration form here.

Every participant has to register individually. During the first step of registration (registration form) you can indicate that you are part of a delegation. Important is that all people in your delegation indicate the same country preference, but different committee preferences. Also make sure that the head delegate sends an email to rimun@unitednetherlands.org to indicate all the names of the delegates in the delegation. 

To add a delegate, please send an e-mail to rimun@unitednetherlands.org to see if any places are available. If there are any open single places, you will be asked to immediately provide the delegate fee, which can be done through our online electronic payment system (PayPal). 

A delegation is allowed to bring faculty advisors. A faculty advisor cannot actively participate in the discussions in the councils but is allowed to watch in the different councils and is very welcome to give advice and share ideas with the delegates. If you want to register as a faculty advisor you can indicate this on the registration form. Faculty advisors will get a € 10,- refund on the registration fee at the beginning of the conference.

When you have filled out the registration form you will receive a confirmation within two weeks. If you have not received a personal confirmation within two weeks, please send an e-mail to rimun@unitednetherlands.org.

The deadline for application is 18 March 2011. However, missed the official deadline of March 18? Did not have the means to pay directly or could not make up your mind? No worries.

All payments go through our website. Press the registration button on the left of your page, and you will be guided through the registration system. The registration process consists of four main steps, which every delegate has to complete in order to be registered. Only when you paid the participation fee and you have received a confirmation email, your registration has been successful.

Payment is the third step in the registration procedure. Registration will only be completed when you have paid through PayPal. This electronic payment system is the most convenient method, with no transaction fees for you. PayPal is an electronic system, meaning we can track money expediently and nearly instantaneously. A PayPal account is not necessary to pay, you can also use a credit card. Click on this link to find a detailed explanation RiMUN2011 Payment Guide.

Observers are member states or non-governmental organizations invited by the committee chair or the Secretary-General to participate in the committee's deliberations to broaden the range of perspectives. Observers can submit, work on and even sign resolutions and amendments in order to fulfill the requirements to have them debated on the floor. The only thing observers cannot do is vote on substantive issues (resolutions or amendments).
