Welcome Letter from SecretaryGeneral

Esteemed Participants of BAUMUN’26 Elite Edition,

It is with utmost honour and respect to welcome you to the 13th conference of our family, BAUMUN 2026 Elite Edition.
For many years, as the BAUMUN Family, we have done our best to provide our participants with the best possible academic and organisational experience, and with all your feedbacks and love, it is clear that we have accomplished our goal so far.

Now it is once again time for the classic May conference. Our goal is to once again have you, dear participants, experience the very meaning of excellence in every aspect of the conference as always, but this experience is going to be even more enhanced than the others; more sophisticated, more prestigious, more exceptional, and of course, ELITE.

As the Secretary-General of this refined conference, and as a person whose university life has been blessed with the family-like environment of all BAUMUNs, it is a great pleasure to see future diplomats, decision makers, and open minded youth that are not afraid to speak what is right participate and join us in this cause of bringing all the great minds together in Bosphorus for a better world.

I, Barış Yavaş, both as the Secretary-General of this Conference and the President of BAUMUN, have no doubt that this is going to be the finest MUN experience of your life that will be full of fun, unforgettable memories, ever-lasting friendships with an exceptional academic experience. Our academic team has worked tirelessly to craft the most advanced, challenging yet fulfilling and UN-aligned committees that will not just improve you academically but will improve you personally also. Stand up and say what is right to you, do not hesitate and never be afraid of your words, for they have the power to change the world, know this while coming to BAUMUN and do not let anyone change this fact ever in your life.

To finish my words, it is a great pleasure to have you join our family, let this experience be a chance to learn the value of your words, the power of your spirit and the significance of using them both to make a difference in this world.The BAUMUN Family cannot wait to meet with you once again and, of course, as always, Welcome To Bosphorus.

Best regards,

Barış YAVAŞ

Welcome Letter from Director-General

Dear Participants,

It is my utmost pleasure to welcome you all to the 13th edition of our conference BAUMUN’26 the Elite Edition.

Throughout its history, BAUMUN has never been just a Model United Nations simulation. It has always been a community where a strong sense of responsibility is instilled, intellectual growth is encouraged and mutual respect and belonging are actively emphasized; not only for its own club members, but also for every participant joining us regardless of the institutions they represent.

Our vision extends beyond conducting a successful conference but rather lies in preserving and advancing our community culture. Preserving and passing on our community culture to future generations is not only of great importance to our university, but also holds profound significance for our nation and the broader international community. In a world growing more polarised each day, communities that promote dialogue, mutual understanding, compromise and negotiation hold extraordinary importance.

Our mission is twofold, in line with this vision. First, to create an environment that enables the highest standard of academic experience for our delegates. Second, to ensure that our participants experience the strength of BAUMUN’s community life by building genuine and long-lasting connections.

Internally, we place equal importance on providing the most efficient, organised and optimal working conditions for our conference proletariat, the organisation team. BAUMUN community culture can only be maintained and transmitted through professionalism, structured collaboration and shared responsibility. Our goal is to ensure that each member of the Conference Team contributes within a system that values discipline, clarity and respect.

BAUMUN’26 is not just the 13th edition of a conference. It is the continuation of a legacy that is built on integrity, solidarity and collective effort. Continuing this legacy is both our privilege and our responsibility.

I extend my sincere gratitude to our Secretariat, Academic and Organisation Teams and all stakeholders who contribute to this shared vision.
We look forward to welcoming you back to Bosphorus!

Warm regards,
Umur UYSAL

Director-General, BAUMUN’26
