All Security Council FAQ are located here.
1.
Is community housing provided?
In principle, community housing is only provided to two long-term participating schools who reciprocate annually with CAISL. IMUN has reserved a block of steeply discounted rooms at the resort Hotel Estoril Eden. It is each school’s responsibility to make their own housing arrangements. (More information at www.iberian-mun.org/hotelinfo.html)
2.How many delegates may represent a country?
UN Member States may be represented either solo or in pairs, with the exception of those schools representing SC Member States. In that case, there can be a maximum of two students in the GA and one student in the SC and these positions are not interchangeable.
3.Where is the conference held?
We start on a Thursday at 13:00 at our school, Carlucci American International School of Lisbon, in Linho, Sintra (approximately 30 minutes outside Lisbon). Friday and Saturday we meet at the state-of-the-art Centro Cultural de Belem in Lisbon.
4.When do we have to register?
Form I is due April 1st. A non refundable registration fee of 125 euros is due at this time as well.
Form II is due October 1st along with the balance payment (Be sure to subtract your previously made 125 euro deposit).
5.How do we get around?
IMUN will arrange airport transfers upon request at cost. It is each school’s responsibility to get to CAISL by 13:00 on Thursday. We are served by public bus transportation (BUS #417)- your hotel concierge should be able to provide details. IMUN will bus Estoril Eden guests at the end of the day at approximately 18:00 Thursday from CAISL to the hotel. On Friday and Saturday delegates will take the train from the Estoril Eden to the conference site (Centro Cultural de Belem). The train station is a 5 minute walk from the hotel and the Belem stop is a 10 minute walk to the conference site. The cost is approximately 1,50 euro per trip. [Click here for more information]
6.Is there something interesting to see Thursday morning near your school?
Yes! Sintra, one of Portugal’s most beautiful towns and part of UNESCO’s World Heritage list, is a 10 minute drive from our school. Castles, museums and shops abound. Buses (#417 and #418) and taxis are available between Sintra and Linho (CAISL).
7.Do we have to wear formal attire on Thursday?
If possible, yes. All of the local schools will be in formal attire. If you know you will be hiking the Sintra hills or otherwise engaged in active tourism Thursday you may come directly to CAISL in more casual dress. Formal attire must be worn during the rest of the conference.
8.What constitutes formal attire?
Formal attire is absolutely required all day Friday and Saturday. No jeans or sneakers are permitted. Male delegates must wear either a blazer, tie, and dress pants or a full suit. Female delegates must dress appropriately and professionaly.
9.When will the five Agenda Issues be decided?
As soon as the THIMUN releases the issues we will post them on our site. This usually occurs in late August.
10.When will we receive our country assignments?
Assignments, based on your provided delegate estimates, will be posted on our site in May.
11.How can I be constantly kept up to date and provided with further details?
See the rest of our website: www.iberian-mun.org
12.Does IMUN provide its own note passing stationary?
IMUN does supply all delegates with an unlimited number of official note-passing stationary. Notes will only be recognized if written on the official IMUN stationary. Notes will not be passed if written on any other form of stationary OR in any language other than English.
13.Does IMUN provide meals?
IMUN provides a late lunch on Thursday at CAISL. On Friday we hold a reception (walking distance from the CCB) with traditional Portuguese pastries and sodas at Antiga Fabrica de Pasteis de Belem. All MUN directors are invited to dinner Friday evening in Belem.
