Dear Participants of BilgiMUN’26,

Empowered by our motto “Stronger Than Ever,” I proudly welcome you to BilgiMUN 2026. I, Burcu Gürsaç, am truly honored to serve as your Director-General for BilgiMUN’26. BilgiMUN has always been a place where ideas turn into action, where young minds come together to question, challenge, and lead. This year will be no exception—in fact, it will be a turning point.

BilgiMUN 2026 is shaped by a team that refuses to settle for ordinary. Our Organization and Academic Teams have spent months working with precision, creativity, and dedication to create a conference that speaks not only to your intellect but also to your passion, curiosity, and courage. I am endlessly grateful to my Deputy Director General, Ece Gürcan, whose support has been the backbone of every decision made throughout this journey.

Each of you will bring something irreplaceable to this conference—your voice, your perspective, your presence. Whether you are stepping into committee rooms for the first time or returning with experience and ambition, remember this: leadership begins the moment you decide to speak. The discussions you take part in here may echo far beyond these walls.

BilgiMUN is not just an event—it is a space to evolve, to connect, and to discover what kind of changemaker you can become. So I invite you to embrace every challenge, respect every voice, and allow yourself to grow through every debate.

We look forward to welcoming you to Istanbul Bilgi University, where new ideas will spark, friendships will form, and a new chapter of BilgiMUN will be written—by you.

With heartfelt regards,

Burcu Gürsaç

Director-General of BilgiMUN 2026
