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.
