Secretary General
The UNYSA-AUSTRIA-AFA very much thanks Alexander HENZL and the VIMUN 2016 Team for their excellent and voluntary work.
The UNYSA-AUSTRIA-AFA is very grateful to Herbert GMOSER for his work as VIMUN 2016 photographer.
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 2016 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).
