Münster University International Model United Nations
April 1-5, 2008

Keeping the tradition of SPJIMR alive, Chirag Bhatia of the PGDSM MIT programme made the institute proud by representing India in the second Münster University International Model United Nations. This five day event was organized by University of Münster where 200 students from across the globe met to debate on the topics of Global concern.

The participants took up the role of an ambassador of a country which was different from their own. For instance a participant from Afghanistan had to represent Pakistan where he had to speak against Eradication of Opium production from Afghanistan in front of the Peace Building Commission.

Chirag Bhatia was one of the 10 scholars who was granted full scholarship. He represented USA in the World Trade Organization committee of United Nations to discuss on the following two topics:

1. Subsidies on Fisheries

2.Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS), related to Pharmaceutical Patents.

He was awarded for proposing the best solution in theWTOCommittee.

Chirag was also covered by German newspapers in recognition to his contribution in the conference.
