United Nations Office at Vienna

Since 1979 Vienna is one of the "United Nations capitals" with about 4000 people from all over the world working for the Vienna based International Organizations such as IAEA, UNIDO or UNODC. In addition, Vienna serves as headquarter also for OSCE or OPEC. As VIMUN 2012 entirely took place at the United Nations Office at Viennna, VIMUN again was perhaps the most authetical MUN world-wide. The UNYSA-AUSTRIA-AFA therefore, thanks the UN Conference Service and especially Ms. Maxine JACOBS for the support.

Of course participants were free in organizing their individual accomodation (private, hostels etc.). UNYSA-AUSTRIA-AFA recomended one accomodation possibility and arranged a special package at the Hotel Park Inn UNO-City Vienna. The hotel is located directly opposite the United Nations Office at Vienna and near Vienna's largest recreation area, the "Donauinsel" (with lots of water sport facilities).

Social Programme

Sunday: Welcome Dinner

On Sunday evening paricipants had the opportunity to visit the traditional Viennese "Heuriger Feuerwehr Wagner". "Heuriger" is the Viennese term for the wine of the last grape harvest. And it is also the name of the places where this wine is served. "Let's go to heuriger" is an invitation that marks the beginning of a sociable evening full of fun. At the Dinner participants enjoyed Viennese cousine.


Monday: Gala Reception

Monday evening, after the first day of negotiations in the committees, participants were hosted by the Mayor and the City of Vienna in the impressive Vienna City Hall. An official representative of the Viennese Government welcomed the participants. They had the possibility to shake a leg (if you like to waltz) and they were invited to Viennese food and beverages.


Tuesday: Intercultural Night

On Tuesday evening, participants experienced one of the highlights of VIMUN 2012: The Intercultural Night. In the spirit of VIMUN's internationality, this event provided all delegates with the chance to present their countries to others from their own point of view. Participants learned about various cultures and witness colorful performances including dance, song, and poetry from all parts of the world. Prior to that, participants had dinner at "Schaukuchl". Schaukuchl offered an international buffet combined with typical Austrian hospitality. Located on the terrace of the Ministry of Finance, the atmosphere of this dinner was influenced by the pleasant breeze, delicious meals and Viennese charm. After a short walk, participants reached the location of the Intercultural Night: The Urania. The Urania is an observatory as well as an educational institute in the centre of Vienna. It was named after the Muse Urania (who represents astronomy) and fascinates through its glamorous Art Nouveau style of architecture. Events such as screenings of the annual Viennale movie festival and a classical puppet theatre take place at this beautiful sight next to the Wien River.


Wednesday: Clubbing

On last day of the MUN, there was a big party. The club "Platzhirsch" (= name usually used for a leading location in a town) is, due to its central location in the heart of Vienna (directly on the "Ring" street vis a vis of the State Opera), a very popular and trendy event hotspot. An exceptional atmosphere was offered due to the successful fusion of modernity and tradition. It was a great evening!
