UNISCA 2024
Starting as a student initiative in 1997, UNISCA established itself as a sophisticated and high-quality student conference that attracts ambitious participants from across the globe. It prides itself on establishing an intense and rewarding two-week program. Participants not only get to participate in a thrilling Model United Nations but also expand their horizon intellectually by receiving interesting lectures by renowned speakers. Furthermore, UNISCA offers amazing evening activities where participants make friends for a life-time.
​
In the first week of UNISCA students will receive lectures on subjects that relate to the topics discussed during the second week the actual conference. Students will write a position paper (essay) before the first week starts, indicating the stance of the nation they represent on the topics at hand. This year, UNSICA is a pass or fail course. In order to be eligible for the 6 ECTS academic credits, the grade (pass or fail) for UNISCA as an official University of Amsterdam subject is determined by a position paper (essay, a participation grade and a presentation during the conference.
