What isUEMCON(Conclave of Nations)?
UEM Conclave of Nations(UEMCON) stands as one of Kolkata’s premier Model United Nations conferences, organised by the University of Engineering & Management, Kolkata. It is more than just a simulation of diplomacy, UEMCON is a dynamic platform where students step into the world of international relations, parliamentary discourse, journalism, and global policymaking.
This event rightfully acknowledges the passion, commitment and quality of the delegates. At the end of the two days conference, phenomenal candidates from every committee are honoured for their extreme hardwork and outstanding performance with awards and merit certificates.
At its core, UEMCON celebrates the spirit of intense debate, adequate discourse and personal growth. It provides delegates — whether first-timers or experienced participants — with an opportunity to challenge themselves with the global affairs, refine their skills, and leave a lasting impact through their ideas and convictions.

What are thePerks of being a MUNner?
UEM Conclave of Nations serves as a dynamic platform where the participants can refine their communication skills, bolster their confidence and discover the power of articulate expression through rigorous debate, strategic negotiations and calm rebuttals.
The conferences foster an environment that encourages individuals to step out of one's comfort zone and engage with a diverse community of like-minded peers from schools and universities alike, evolving into future opportunities. It trains them in diplomacy and negotiation, learning empathy and how to persuade but at the same time to listen and compromise as well.
UEMCON also challenges conventional thinking, that sharpens a participant by letting them hone their analytical, research-based, and problem-solving abilities— qualities that will remain invaluable far beyond the realm of diplomacy and global politics. Beyond policies and procedures lies showcasing awareness of various cultures, ideologies around the globe and embracing a mosaic of perspectives.
