Serbian scientists have an involvement with CERN that goes back to the very origins of the Organization: Yugoslavia was a founder Member State of CERN in 1954, and remained a Member State until 1961. Nevertheless, scientists from the former Yugoslavia continued to be involved with CERN.

Through the 1980s and 90s, Serbian physicists were active in the DELPHI experiment at CERN’s LEP facility, and have long been active in the ISOLDE facility, which carries out a range of research from particle astrophysics to medical physics. Serbia formally rejoined CERN in 2001 through a Co-operation Agreement, leading to involvement in both the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC. In addition, Serbia is involved in the ACE and NA61 experiments. Serbian industry has successfully participated in the construction of both detectors, and Serbia is also active in GRID computing.

Since 24 March 2019, Republic of Serbia is CERN's Member State. And prior to that, Republic of Serbia has been an Associate Member since 15 March 2012.
