What: The London Security Exercise, or LSEMUN for short, is a Model United Nations conference. It is a conference with a twist: it simulates fast paced crises. Delegates will be given a role in a nation's or organisation's cabinet and will deal with domestic and international issues in real time, competing with different delegates in different cabinets along the way.
Who: Any university student can participate. Delegations will mostly be coming from UK universities but applications outside the UK are more than welcome. We encourage universities to apply as a delegation through their UN Society but will also accept individual applications where there is only one delegate from a university wishing to participate. LSEMUN is striving to widen participation among all students regardless of previous experience, by introducing a few different crisis modes, beginner, intermediate, and advanced.
Why: Diplomacy, national governance, political wrangling, war: all of these will be faced by delegates, as part of a flexible and evolving crisis coordinated by staff behind the scenes. The London Security Exercise offers intense and engaging debate, allowing delegates to move their cabinet in whichever way they desire.
