the Board, including a President, a financial manager, an event manager, a relations manager, a commercial manager, an academic manager and a program manager. The members of the Board work together closely on organizational matters, training the delegation and on long-term projects. The Board is in charge of organizing all the three programs of United Netherlands: the Delegation, the High School Program and the Public Speaking Program. Altogether these teams form the essence of the United Netherlands organization. Several external Boards are concerned with the overall development and management of all of the active components within the United Netherlands framework. The Board communicates with the Supervisory Board, which is in charge of formally assisting United Netherlands in its general development now and in the future. Furthermore, an Advisory Board has been put in place to provide support and insight if necessary. Finally, United Netherlands is officially supported by its Board of Recommendation, formed by respected members Dries van Agt, Thom de Graaf, Caecilia van Peski, Diederik Laman Trip, Boris Dittrich, Pieter Feith and former Rector magnificus of the Radboud University Cees Blom and Bas Kortmann. The United Nations and Multilateral Diplomacy (UNMD) course The UNMD course concept, generally considered to lie at the origin of United Netherlands, has been designed to teach both the theory and practice of international relations and diplomacy to talented students. The theoretical part of the course lasts half a year and involves lectures on international matters by renowned speakers, intensive training in public speaking, lobbying and negotiation, and a final training week in New York. The practical aspect of the course is embodied by participation in the Oxford international Model United Nations (OxIMUN), and ultimately the Harvard National Model United Nations in Boston, considered to be the oldest, largest and arguably most respected Model United Nations conference in the world. Approximately thirty students can participate in the course every year. Participants are drawn through a selection process which consists of three rounds and takes place twice a year. The preparation track, the training week and MUN conferences together form the United Nations and Multilateral Diplomacy: Theory and Practice course. The course is equivalent to a (Dutch) BA3 course and is academically accredited with 10 ECTS through the Radboud University. Participants are trained, coached and given feedback by two Head Delegates and MUN Trainer carrying the responsibility for the Delegation. Radboud international Model United Nations (RiMUN)
