Esteemed delegates, faculty advisors and valued partners,
It is with genuine excitement that we welcome you to the 16th Edition of the Rhodes Model Regional Co-operation (RhodesMRC) 2026, an edition we envision not simply as a continuation of tradition, but as its thoughtful reinvention.
For years, RhodesMRC has stood as a meeting ground for dialogue, diplomacy and intellectual exchange. Yet growth demands reflection. Set against the timeless backdrop of Rhodes — a crossroads of civilizations, narratives and ideas — this year’s conference aspires to mirror the island itself: dynamic yet grounded, diverse yet coherent. Through carefully designed committees and a robust agenda addressing pressing geopolitical transformations, economic uncertainties and regional security challenges, we invite you not merely to participate, but to challenge assumptions, refine arguments and elevate the quality of dialogue and debate.
The ambition of our team is simple but at the same time remains demanding: to create a conference where academic excellence and meaningful experience coexist; where diplomacy is not simulated mechanically, but practiced thoughtfully. RhodesMRC 2026 is an invitation to rethink, to engage more deeply, and to shape together what this forum can become.
On behalf of the Secretariat and the Board of RhodesMRC 2026, we warmly welcome you and invite you to this new chapter.
Kindest Reagrds,
Alexandra Moutropoulou
Secretary-General
RhodesMRC 2026- University Edition
