For the 8th edition more than 150 scholarships are awarded by the Association to the most deserving applicants, the largest number of scholarships offered by any model UN in the world. Moreover, high-school and college-level students from around the world have the opportunity to interact with diplomats, international officials and NGOs, being for them an unique occasion to meet relevant personalities from international organizations.

Influential people such as Staffan de Mistura, UN special envoy, Giulio Terzi di Sant’Agata, former Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Graziano de Silva, General Director of FAO, and Ahmad Alhendawi, UN Secretary-General’s Envoy on Youth, have participated over the years, making the event a great opportunity for all participants to discover the secrets of international relations and diplomacy. Therefore candidates were given the chance to receive advice and opinions from people deeply involved in the diplomatic and international world.
All participants have the opportunity to attend other activities of the International Careers Festival and the chance to take part in stages and internships with NGOs and international institutions.
