When preparing for a conference, it is useful for delegates to divide the research into four categories:

1.     General research on the assigned topic. A delegate should be well-versed on the topic they will be debating.

2.     General research on the background and culture of the country they have been assigned.

3.     Research on the policies of "their" country on the topics they will be debating.

4.     Research on the policies of other countries that will be represented at the conference so that they can anticipate the arguments that might be put forward by other delegates.
