Logo VeUMEU 

From 11 to 13 May 2018 the second edition of VeUMEU Venice Universities' Model European Union, simulation of the legislative procedure of the European Union, was held in Venice at the VIU in the island of San Servolo, thanks to the collaboration between Venice International University, Università Ca' Foscari di Venezia, e Venice Diplomatic Society, Europe Direct del Comune di Venezia e Bringing Europeans Together Association  (BETA Italia), Eiuc and San Servolo Servizi

VeMEU is the simulation of the legislative procedure of the European Union. The participants held the roles of members of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union, following the steps of the ordinary legislative procedure that lead to the implementation of European directives and regulations. A group of students also trained the journalists' body, who was instructed to report on the developments of the weekend activities.

VeUMEU is an excellent opportunity for students to get closer to the world of multilateral diplomacy and to refine their negotiating and leadership skills. Students will learn how the European legislative process works, the rules of procedure, the introduction of amendments and the way in which EU directives and regulations are drafted.

The themes selected by the organizing committee view the plenary sessions of the two chambers, the European Union Council and the Parliament, were:

- Education: Directive (EU) 2016/801 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the conditions of entry and residence of third-country nationals for the purposes of research, study, training, volunteering, exchange programs for pupils or educational projects, and peer placement.

- Environment: Directive 2013/30 / EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on the safety of offshore oil and gas operations.
