Andrei Pankratov is a 19-year-old college student from Tallinn, Estonia currently studying Politics and Governance at the University of Tartu. His passion for MUN conferences started at the age of 12 with the Estonian Model United Nations, where he was the youngest participant at the time. He continued participating in Model United Nations conferences as a delegate for five years, receiving Outstanding and Best Delegate awards. Andrei got the opportunity to participate in MUN conferences in Ukraine, Belgium, and the United States.  After passing chair training in Estonia, Andrei became an aspiring chair in the Estonian MUN community, participating in conferences both in Tallinn and Tartu, as well as gaining international experience in the United States and Italy. Along with MUN conferences, Andrei also participated in global education trainings and international seminars, becoming involved with the Estonian National Commission for the UNESCO youth group. Apart from debating and global education, Andrei’s experience includes participation in local politics. Having served as a member of the Tallinn Youth City Council and the Estonian Youth Assembly, Andrei gained invaluable experience which fueled his passion for politics, greatly inspiring his academic career choice. Andrei has also been involved in the international student movement, having participated in the International Student Festival in Trondheim and taking part in student exchange networks. Right now, Andrei focuses largely on his first-year studies, with some of the most interesting topics for him being international relations and the impact of global issues on local election results. He continues to take part in MUN conferences in Europe, all while being the Secretary General of the leading MUN in his home country. Andrei hopes that MUIMUN will be his most challenging undertaking yet, where he will assume the role of a Chair in the Security Council.

Nora Dornis participated at her first Model United Nations conference in 2014, and has since then attended several conferences as a delegate, as a chair or as a part of the broader organisational team. She is still absolutely amazed by the concept of MUNs and the opportunity to experience international politics in such an in-depth way as a young person. She is member of the board of DMUN e.V. (Deutsche Model United Nations e.V.) which is an organisation that holds three annual MUN conferences throughout Germany.
After graduating from High School in Schleswig-Holstein, Nora pursued a bachelor’s degree in Medical Engineering in Bautzen in the East of Saxony. During and after finishing the degree, she worked in Quality Management of a medical device manufacturing company. After some work experience, the idea of spending eight hours a day in an office didn’t seem as appealing to her anymore, so she decided to take her engagement in the Health Sector to a more political level, and started a master’s degree in “Global Health” at the University of Glasgow in September 2019, nurturing her profound interest in health inequalities and in sexual health.
Nora worked in the field of sexual health, especially in condom promotion and STI prevention, for several years. Her focus was thereby on promoting sexual health with the help of digital means, e.g. through Social Media or podcasts. One of the projects she worked on was the set-up of condom-vending machines in South African schools in deprived areas in connection with peer-to-peer education workshops to prevent the further spread of HIV and other STIs.

The main simulations he participated in were those of the University of São Paulo, which were composed of chairing university professors who made a rigorous assessment of the content of each participant’s discourse. Claudius won Best Delegate and Best Speaker on eight occasions, Best Position Paper three times and an Honorable Mention once.
When he began studying law in Lisbon, Cláudio took an interest in Moot Court Competitions consisting of judicial simulations in which each team is responsible for defending a party to the process and trying to convince the jury of their point of argumentation. Cláudio participated in four Moot Court Competitions, winning twice.
In 2019, Cláudio worked as a summer intern in the area of intellectual property in an international law firm, besides being tutored at his University in the disciplines of Economics and Public Finance.
He participated in the organisation of a national simulation, acting as head of PR, conducting partnerships with companies related to international relations, law, economy and management that were possible sponsors of the event.
Cláudio Gurgel is a fun person who works well as in teams and is willing to do his best in everything he commits to.
