Simulations
In the past the Forum's efforts have been concentrated on carrying out the annual conferences "Munich European Forum" and "Ghent/Brussels European Forum", both of them intensive week-long international student conferences, in the course of which students from over a dozen countries are made familiar with current European issues by actually role-playing the positions of member states engaged in simulated negotiations.
Accompanied by experts-led workshops on topical issues as well as special courses on rules of procedure, resolution writing and negotiation tactics, and visits at the actual sights of European policy in Brussels, the
conference attempts to bridge the gap between theory and practice in the study of international relations.
In this way the Munich European Forum organisation hopes to heighten students' interest in European affairs, while providing contacts to the larger European (and extra-European) university community as well as insights into career opportunities.
