Welcome to the S.I.B.-Nederland Foundation
The S.I.B.-Nederland Foundation is better known in English as the Dutch United Nations Student Association (DUNSA). Four student associations in the Netherlands are part of our organisation as well as The SIB-TEIMUN Foundadion. SIB-Teimun organises The European International Model United Nations (TEIMUN). The four associations are located in Amsterdam, Groningen, Leiden and Utrecht. The original national association was founded in 1947 with branches in Leiden and Groningen. Our organisation is politically neutral does not have any religious affiliations. Our main goal is to enlarge knowledge and understanding of international issues.

Activities
The four student associations organise lectures on international relations, excurtions, trips to foreign cities and all kinds of simulations of conferences. Once a year a Model United Nations is organised in The Hague, in which students from all over the world participate. Many interesting speakers have been so kind to speak for our association. Many of them are well-known national or international political and cultural figures. In the past our guest lecturers have included: Wim Kok (former prime minister of the Netherlands), Jaap de Hoop Scheffer ( Secretary-General NATO), Margot Wallström (European Commissioner) and Gretta Duisenberg (activist & wife of the former president of the European Central Bank). We also have excelelt contacts with the Corps Diplomatique. For instance, every year a symposium is organised where our students are able to meet and discuss political issues with a host of ambassadors in an informal setting.

Becoming a member
The DUNSA Foundation itself does not have any members, but the branch associations of course do. If you would like to become a member please contact your local branch (links can be found below). The branches are steadily become more and more internationally oriented with many English-language lectures and international student activity committees.
