About the oikos Model WTO
- oikos Model WTO general assembly in the main hall of the WTO in Geneva
The oikos Model WTO is an international event with 60 students simulating the regular WTO minister conferences.
oikos welcomes selected international students to a week of stimulating negotiations on the most pressing issues the world trading system is facing today. The five day program in St.Gallen and Geneva enables our participants from all over the world to develop a deeper understanding of both gains and problems of global trade.
The oikos Model WTO does not only imitate the negotiations of the current WTO working programs but is also aimed at anticipating future negotiations. While keeping the political reality in mind, constructive, innovative and possibly unconventional solutions and compromises for current economic, ecologic and social challenges should be worked out.
The 2009 oikos Model WTO took place from 19th – 24th April 2009. The details on this year's edition will be published soon.
2009 Project Outline, Brochure and Chairpapers are available here!
A preview of the 2009 event can be downloaded here. A definitive report on the 2008 edition will be available shortly.
Student participants Iftekhar Ul-Karim and Mohammed Rizwan Shamim from Bangladesh wrote a newspaper article about their Model WTO 2008 experience. This contribution can be consulted under: http://www.thedailystar.net/campus/2008/06/03/feature_WTO.htm
