About

Harvard Model Congress Asia (HMCA) is a government simulation conference run entirely by Harvard students who are passionate about international relations, government, and teaching. Organized by Harvard College Model Congress Asia, a student organization at Harvard University, HMCA has been committed to providing an immersive educational experience for high school students from across the globe since 2004. Additionally, HMCA is part of the larger Harvard Model Congress community, which was first started with the Harvard Model Congress Boston conference in 1986. Since then, the HMC community has expanded to conferences in San Francisco, Europe, the Middle East, and of course Asia. Each year, thousands of high school students have the opportunity to participate in an HMC conference, and we are thrilled to bring our educational mission and our enthusiasm to Asia.
