Basic Information:

What is the Model European Union? Every April, students from colleges and universities from around the nation meet together in Indianapolis to decide the future of the European Union. Playing the roles of prime ministers & presidents, ambassadors & commissioners, ministers & diplomats, they spend two days haggling over policy, resolving disputes, building compromises, and charting the course of European unity.

When and where is the Model EU? The 2008 Midwest Model EU Conference is on April 17th-19th at Indiana University-Purdue University, Indianapolis (IUPUI). Each school represents one or more of the countries in the European Union. Each “country” consists of 7 students. Rose students have previously represented the Netherlands, Slovakia, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. Travel, lodging and (most) food expense will be covered by the HSS Department.

What do you do in the Model EU? You will learn how the EU works; learn about the politics and government of the country(s) we will be representing, develop ideas for draft EU directives (laws), and negotiate and debate on the future of the Union with students from around the country and the world.
