Six ways to experience international affairs at the Forlì Campus — from the committee room to the dinner table.
At the heart of UNSA is the Model United Nations: students act as delegates of UN Member States, research a global issue, deliver speeches, negotiate and draft resolutions — just like real diplomats. Around it, we organise panels, seminars and workshops, community events and a student magazine.
Where every delegate starts
Our weekly training in diplomacy, run by the Academics committee: research international topics, learn the Rules of Procedure, write position papers, practise speeches and negotiation. The programme culminates in a final simulation on the Forlì Campus. No experience needed.
A full day in the committee room
Our official simulation, held once every semester: opening speeches, caucuses, negotiations and a resolution to vote, in a formal committee setting. Three editions so far — on migration and climate (UNHRC), on AI in military applications (UNGA) and on the weaponization of economic interdependence (UNGA First Committee).
Meet the people who study the world
Panel discussions with professors of the University of Bologna, international guest speakers and partner organisations, on the questions shaping today's international order. Open to all students.
Learn by discussing
Thematic seminars created by and for students, interactive workshops and debates — including on negotiation and public speaking — to sharpen the skills every diplomat needs.
A home away from home
Our student body comes from all over the world. We celebrate it with moments to meet, share cultures and discover Forlì together.
Our student magazine
Well-researched, nuanced essays by students of the University of Bologna on the events shaping our international landscape. Volume I is dedicated to the theme of war; submissions for the Second Edition open on 4 November 2026.
