Organised by a team of students from the University of St. Gallen since its first edition in 1997, the Model’s conference has established itself as the biggest simulation of negotiations of the WTO in the world, with the participation of 72 international students and the assistance of a prestigious Advisory Board of experts. 

What you need to know about the event?

The Model WTO provides an opportunity for future decision-makers to face important global issues in the simulation framework of the WTO ministerial negotiations. Every year since 1997, students from around the world have been invited to Switzerland to debate and exchange creative ideas in the realistic context of the World Trade Organization.

The Model WTO offers a unique experience for students to get involved in high-level training, enabling them to benefit from the expertise of WTO professionals. The diversity of opinions reflected by students coming from a variety of continents and distinct backgrounds provides an exceptional environment to actively exchange and further cultivate the role of international institutions such as the WTO in the global transition towards more sustainable development.
