YANIL is a branch of the INSOL Europe Academic Forum which brings together postgraduate students, PhD candidates, early career academics and young professionals with an interest in academic research in the field of insolvency law. More than 15 years after its establishment, YANIL has now grown to include over 150 members from different jurisdictions, in Europe and beyond.
6th YANIL Research Workshop, Naples, October 2025.
The network was founded in 2009 by Prof. Em. Bob Wessels (The Netherlands) and Dr. Myriam Mailly (France). The network is a platform aiming at the exchange of information and ressources, as well as research, teaching and funding opportunities. It promotes academic collaborations and support and provides a friendly and enthusiastic forum to share research outputs and to discuss contemporary issues of insolvency law.
Since 2019, YANIL has been organising annual workshops which welcome postgraduate and doctoral students who wish to disseminate and discuss their research and insolvency law.
