WELCOM E

Dear participants,

Welcome to MUNISS 2019! The Executive Team has been working tirelessly over the course of the
past ten months to make this conference possible. This year, we have around 450 participants
coming from the United States of America, Greece, Turkey, Sweden, Spain and more, who are
coming together this weekend to debate solutions linking to our conference theme: Combating
Inequalities.

We are proud to set up this year ?s MUNISS conference and be part of such a supportive and
motivated Executive Team to organize another great MUN experience here in Stuttgart. We are
very excited to meet everyone, and see you all in committees discussing the important world
issues.

We hope that you will enjoy the conference, the committees, the debate and the time with all
members of your committee.

On behalf of the Secretariat, and the Executive Team, we would like to thank you all for joining us
here in Stuttgart, and we wish you all a weekend full of fruitful and productive debates, and
encourage everyone to step out of your comfort zones and of course, have fun!

Best wishes,

Natasha Rodd and Cedric Strohkendl

gym and the current Middle School classrooms will be the main
location for the committees, whereas some other rooms will be used
as well, to fir all the committees. For full reference, check our the floor
