Spacerując po terenie jednego z największych centrów naukowych na świecie, położonego na granicy Szwajcarii i Francji Europejskiego Ośrodka Badań Jądrowych (CERN), oraz jego okolic natrafić można na kilka form upamiętnienia dokonań wybitnych polskich fizyków. Stanowią one nie tylko wyraz uznania dla ich wkładu w działalność i historię ośrodka, lecz także  znaczenia w historii nauki.
