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.

be returned.
- The prize winner receives an award of 10,000 (ten thousand) Swiss Francs. The amount of the second prize, where
