THE VEILLARD-CYBULSKI FUND ASSOCIATION

The Veillard-Cybulski Fund Association aims to reward deserving works, particularly those which make a new contribution towards perfecting methods of treatment for children and adolescents in difficulties and their families.

The aims of the Veillard-Cybulski Fund Association are:
(a) to encourage scientific activities aimed at improving the legal protection of young people and families;
(b) to assist the realisation of studies, enquiries, research, treaties and work related to the themes of the congresses or seminars of the International Association of Youth and Family Judges and Magistrates (IAYFJM), or other groups following similar aims;
(c) to reward particularly deserving works, above all those which make a new contribution towards perfecting methods of treatment for children, adolescents and their families in difficulty (art. 3 of the Statutes).

To achieve this objective the Association has established a Veillard-Cybulski Award.
Rules (summary)

  • The award is made every four years, on the occasion of the quadrennial Congress of the International Association of Youth and Family Judges and Magistrates (IAYFJM).
  • Candidates must submit four copies of their work in English, French or Spanish, together with a summary of not more than ten pages, to the address of the Association.
  • The next award will be made in 2010. The deadline for submission of works will be 31 October 2009. Papers will not be returned.
