Letter From The Secretary-General
​Dear Delegates,
It is with immense pride and great enthusiasm that I invite you all to the seventh edition of Istanbul University Model United Nations: IUMUN 2025, which will be held this July 16th to 19th at the historic Beyazit Campus of Istanbul University.
My name is Öykü TaÅŸ, and I have had the honor of being a part of IUMUN since 2022. In the past years, I have worked as an Academic Assistant, Under-Secretary-General, and now, with great appreciation, as your Secretary-General. Being part of this conference has been one of the most life-transforming experiences for me. It helped me grow as a leader, collaborator, and person, and I am deeply honored to now carry forward the legacy of those before me and the extraordinary contributions each individual has made to IUMUN's journey.
IUMUN has always been more than just a conference; it is a community, a platform, and a tradition for excellence that inspires growth, understanding, and connection. Every year, it gathers the brightest of minds from all corners of the MUN Societies from Türkiye and Worldwide to come together and discuss matters that reflect the complexities in our global society. What IUMUN represents not just a commitment to diplomacy and innovation but also a celebration of passion, creativity, and determination that young leaders bring to the table.
We are proud to carry on this tradition in an experience that will be enriching for all our participants. In our diverse committees, delegates will battle with pressing issues in the world today, work toward meaningful solutions, and engage each other in debates that will challenge and inspire. For besides the academic discipline involved, you will also find an arena where lifelong friendships can be forged, new viewpoints gained, and limits of potential tested.
For me, IUMUN has been a labor of love—a reflection of my unyielding belief in the power of the youth to create a better tomorrow. It is my hope that you will experience at least a tiny part of this sense of community, growth, and purpose as well while being here for the conference.
On behalf of the entire Secretariat, I would like to extend the warmest of welcomes to IUMUN 2025. Let us come together to honor this tradition, build on its legacy, and create yet another unforgettable chapter in its story.
We look forward to welcoming you all this July to IUMUN 2025!
Best wishes to you all.
