The "Vinca" Institute of Nuclear Sciences (INN) has been founded in 1948 as a research center for the implementation of the nuclear programme of the country (FNRJ, later Yugoslavia). Since 1968 the research concept of the Institute was modified and today it represents the largest multidisciplinary research institute in Serbia covering a large number of scientific as well as technical and technological disciplines. Currently, the "Vinca" Institute consists of 16 laboratories with different research programmes and projects with the world wide developed international collaboration.

The Group for Elementary Particle Physics, which belongs to the Laboratory of Physics 010, is involved in various scientific research and educational activities. The main field of research interest of this Group includes phenomena both in experimental and theoretical particle physics. Members of this group participate actively in High Energy Physics experiments within large international collaborations at CERN: DELPHI (since 1995) and CMS (1997).
