HOLA: the campus hosts the international NMUN 2026 edition
NMUN is the largest, most prestigious, diverse and long-standing university-level Model United Nations in the world, and it is associated with the United Nations Department of Global Communications. Each year, one edition is held in Washington DC, one in New York, and one international edition. In November 2026, La Salle Campus Barcelona will be the official host of the latter.
