ACS Athens was poised and made an exceptional impact at the THIMUN 2025 Conference, an internationally renowned Model United Nations event that convened 3200 student delegates from across the globe to debate the theme: “The Impact of AI on Humanity.” This timely and thought-provoking topic challenged participants to explore the ethical, social, and geopolitical consequences of artificial intelligence, a subject at the forefront of global discourse.

Representing the delegations of Bulgaria and Togo, a distinguished team of 24 ACS Athens students demonstrated their deep understanding of international affairs, policy-making, and diplomatic negotiation. Their participation reflected the school’s dedication to fostering critical thinking, public speaking, and leadership skills in an environment that mirrored real-world diplomacy.

Further elevating ACS Athens' presence at the conference, six of its delegates had secured prestigious leadership positions—an outstanding accomplishment that highlights their expertise and dedication:

• Dimitri Meintanas - President of NATO: Leading high-stakes discussions on the security ramifications of AI, this role oversaw critical debates on how artificial intelligence shapes modern defense strategies and international stability.
