Welcome to PaderMUN!
We’re Paderborn University’s Model United Nations club — a space where students come together to simulate real UN debates, tackle global issues, and develop skills that go far beyond the classroom.
Whether you're into politics, international relations, or just want to try something completely new, PaderMUN is the place to challenge yourself, meet inspiring people, and maybe even travel the world.
Think Globally, Act Locally!

Erasmus BIP-MUN
Last summer, PaderMUN hosted the first-ever Erasmus BIP-MUN with 60 students from Paderborn and 60 students from 6 of our Erasmus and Colours partner universities. The second Erasmus BIP-MUN will take place at our partner university Le Mans Université (June 1st - 7th). Although Le Mans university is hosting the Erasmus BIP-MUN, the conference is being organized by PaderMUN staff. Next year, the third round will take place in the Czech Republic. Come join our meetings if this might be of some interest to you!
