Register for HMCE 2027

Founded in 1987, Harvard Model Congress Europe (HMCE) is an educational conference run exclusively by undergraduates at Harvard College.

HMCE is the premier international government simulation available to high school students, with an average of 500 students attending annually. Over the past 39 years, HMCE has had a rich and diverse history, from our inaugural conference in Luxembourg to Paris, Athens, Rome, Mallorca, Brussels, and now Madrid. Each year, we are privileged to welcome the unique contributions of talented delegations coming from all over Europe and the world. HMCE also has sister conferences in Boston, San Francisco, Asia, and the Middle East.

Through role-play and simulation of open debates, caucuses, trials, press conferences, and testimonies, students will develop a stronger understanding of civic involvement and government function. They will hone critical skills—making compromises, public speaking, strategic negotiation—that they will be able to apply in a variety of settings as they become leaders in tomorrow’s world. At HMCE, students are able to explore their own strengths and weaknesses while learning from and along with their peers.
