About
At IMP, students will simulate diverse national and international political systems: the US Congress, British Parliament, European Parliament, the United Nations, and many more. With a wide range of committees, IMP offers one of Paris's most diverse selections of debating formats and styles.

Legislative and judicial committees are often overlooked at Model UN conferences. IMP brings these new forms of debate to Paris, and keeps the format approachable for delegates who have never studied US procedure.
IMP started as a US Congress simulation. It was rebranded to be less US-centric, and the International Model Congress (House, Senate and Supreme Court) lives on as its own named strand inside IMP.
