Our Story
URJCmun was born as an initiative of ADHUE (Asociación para el Desarrollo Humanitario y Estudiantil) in order to awake the interest for Model United Nations within our university community.
Its first edition took place in April 2013, in Vicálvaro’s Campus. It was exclusive for students of our university and it had an incredible reception. All the committees were filled and the development of the sessions was worthy to remember.
After this first experience, we had great expectations for URJCmun’s future. And we were not mistaken. In January 2014, our second edition took place in Fuenlabrada’s campus. Both committees, Human Rights and ECOSOC, were full of students with a will to do high level diplomacy. Moreover, we were able to introduce some activities that characterized our Model nowadays, such as the sending of carnations and the social events. Likewise, the Model was opened to much more pupils than in its past edition, not only counting on students from the URJC but from others universities of Madrid.
The third edition happed in February 2015. URJCmun had entered into a new stage of its history. Changes were significant: we doubled the number of committees and delegates and the social events were improved, highlighting the Global Village. The reception was overwhelming. Hundreds of students sent their applications in order to participate as delegates and as members of the press team. We went back to our origins, in Vicálvaro’s Campus but we also celebrated some sessions at Manuel Becerra’s infrastructures. URJCmun 2015 was a complete success.
Participants’ expectations were high and the Model’s future was posed as a real challenge for the organization. That is how URJCmun became one of the most important Model United Nations of Europe and the world. Once again, hundreds of students reacted immediately to the opening of applications, surpassing 500 requests to be part of URJCmun 2016 in the first day of applications. More than 600 people- Secretariat General, delegates, press team and staff- participated in this edition. 103 countries were represented in 7 committees of the United Nations. Due to the magnitude of the event, the Campus of Móstoles was chosen as the new location.
URJCmun’s fifth edition was characterised by the number of participants we had. More than 750 delegates decided to join us. As the previous edition, it took place in Móstoles and we counted with 12 committees.
URJCmun 2018 was the sixth edition of our Model. This year our main goal was to achieve recognition as a reference also beyond our borders, we held the first Security Council in English and counted with delegations from all over the world. Furthermore, we counted with 13 committees for the first time and with almost 1.000 delegates.
The seventh edition of URJCmun was key, as other past editions, in order to improve the level of professionalism of the Model. For the first time, we were able to count with the support of sponsors and we settled as the fourth largest European MUN, surpassing last year's 1.000 participants. In addition, the number of international delegates also doubled.
During URJCmun 2020, the eighth edition of our Model, we want to keep improving. Not only do we want a higher quality conference, but also topical subjects concerning international affairs and even better social events. In the end, nothing is too good to make this experience unforgettable for our delegates.
See you in a few months!

Nuestra historia
URJCmun nació como una iniciativa de ADHUE (Asociación para el Desarrollo Humanitario y Estudiantil) buscando despertar el interés por los Modelos de Naciones Unidas dentro de la comunidad universitaria.
Su primera edición se celebró en abril de 2013 en el campus de Vicálvaro. Fue exclusiva para los alumnos de nuestra universidad y tuvo una gran acogida. Los comités propuestos completaron su aforo y se las sesiones se desarrollaron de una manera digna de recordar.
Tras esta primera experiencia, teníamos grandes expectativas puestas en el futuro de URJCmun. Y no nos equivocamos. En enero de 2014 celebramos nuestra segunda edición en el campus de Fuenlabrada. Los dos comités, Human Rights y ECOSOC, estaban llenos de alumnos con ganas de hacer diplomacia de alto nivel. Además, fuimos capaces de introducir actividades que hoy en día caracterizan a nuestro Modelo: el envío de claveles y los eventos sociales. Asimismo, el Modelo se abrió a muchos más alumnos que en su pasada edición, así, no solo contamos con estudiantes de la URJC, sino con otros de distintas universidades madrileñas.
La tercera edición llegó en febrero de 2015. URJCmun había entrado en una nueva etapa de su historia. Los cambios fueron significativos: duplicamos el número de comités y delegados y mejoramos significativamente los eventos sociales, entre los que destaca el Global Village. La acogida fue abrumadora. Cientos de alumnos enviaron sus solicitudes para participar como delegados y miembros del equipo de prensa. Regresamos al campus de Vicálvaro, pero celebramos sesiones en las instalaciones de Manuel Becerra. URJCmun 2015 fue todo un éxito.
Las expectativas de los participantes eran altas y el futuro del Modelo se presentaba como un auténtico reto para la organización. Fue así como URJCmun pasó a ser uno de los Modelos de Naciones Unidas más importantes de Europa y del mundo. Una vez más, cientos de alumnos respondieron de forma inmediata a la apertura de solicitudes, llegando a superar las 500 candidaturas para formar parte de URJCmun 2016 en el primer día de inscripciones. Más de 600 personas —entre Secretaría General, delegados, prensa y staff— participaron en esta edición. Se representaron 103 países en 7 comités de las Naciones Unidas. Y a causa de la magnitud del evento, la localización se trasladó al campus de Móstoles.
La quinta edición de URJCmun fue caracterizada por el número de participantes con el que contamos. Más de 750 delegados decidieron unirse a nosotros. Como la anterior edición, tuvo lugar en Móstoles y contamos con 12 comités.
URJCmun 2018 fue la sexta edición de nuestro modelo. El objetivo dicho año se basó en dar a conocer URJCmun fuera de nuestras fronteras, inaugurando el primer Consejo de Seguridad en inglés y atrayendo a delegaciones de distintas partes del mundo. Además, sumamos un comité más, alcanzando el número de 13 comités y rondando el total de 1.000 participantes.
La séptima edición de URJCmun fue decisiva, como ya lo fueron otras, en la profesionalización del modelo. Contamos por primera vez con sponsors de grandes empresas y nos asentamos como el cuarto MUN más grande de Europa, superando la cifra de 1.000 participantes y añadiendo un comité más. Además, también duplicamos el número de delegados extranjeros.
Durante URJCmun 2020, la octava edición de nuestro modelo, queremos seguir mejorando. Ofreceremos una conferencia de mayor calidad, nuevos temas pegados a la actualidad internacional y mejores eventos sociales. Todo con el fin de que esta experiencia sea inolvidable para todos los participantes.
¡Nos vemos en unos meses!
