The Global Model European Union (GMEU) is a simulation of the European Union organized as a collaboration between colleges and universities around the world. The simulation meets in Brussels in even years, and in New York in odd years.
PURPOSE
The primary purpose of GMEU is to provide a framework for a simulation of a European Council meeting, to better educate students about the European Union while giving them an opportunity to interact with students from all over the world.
Students will be assigned a role in member state delegations, as heads of government or ministers, and also as European Commissioners, or as members of the Press Corps.
Students prepare for the simulation at their own universities with the help of faculty advisers. Additional preparatory materials are included in the GMEU Guidebook. Researching the issues of concern to their country and their alter-ego roles constitutes an important part of all students’ preparatory work. In the months leading up to the summit, the Presidency team will collaborate with the country teams to develop and present agenda items and proposals for discussion and debate at GMEU.
