List of streets at CERN
open-in-new
<p> The European Organization for Nuclear Research (<a href="/facts/CERN/y1gwRchm">CERN</a>) is an international, intergovernmental organisation. Its activities are carried out on land placed at its disposal by the <a href="/facts/Canton_of_Geneva/zPCUL8HH">Canton of Geneva</a>, the <a href="/facts/Swiss_Confederation/LcGuxeTe">Swiss Confederation</a> and <a href="/facts/France/CxIeIKM3">France</a>. In accordance with the agreements reached between France, Switzerland and CERN governing the organisation's legal status, the CERN site is placed under the authority and control of the <a href="/facts/List_of_Directors_General_of_CERN/SBgdDFXe">Director-General</a> as the organisation's chief executive officer. The latter is thus <a href="/facts/Extraterritoriality/lUf4xlUK">empowered to issue internal rules</a> applicable to all persons entering the CERN site and intended to establish thereon the conditions necessary for the exercise of its functions. </p> <p>CERN street names were for a long time an internal matter to the organisation. In 2013 the <a href="/facts/Canton_of_Geneva/zPCUL8HH">Canton of Geneva</a> officially recognised CERN street names. </p> A partial list of named streets at CERN, with the CERN sites they belong to and the French or Swiss Communes they traverse. <a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a><table><tbody><tr><th>Name</th><th>CERN Site</th><th>Commune</th><th>Named for:</th></tr><tr><td>Route Adams</td><td>Prévessin</td><td>Prévessin-Moëns</td><td><a href="/facts/John_Adams_(physicist)/3Aczoagg">John Adams</a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="https://noms-geographiques.app.ge.ch/voie/geneve/square-edoardo-amaldi">Square Edoardo Amaldi</a></td><td>Meyrin</td><td>Meyrin</td><td><a href="/facts/Edoardo_Amaldi/34Pgr4UD">Edoardo Amaldi</a></td></tr><tr><td>Route Arago</td><td>Meyrin</td><td>Saint-Genis-Pouilly</td><td><a href="/facts/Fran%25C3%25A7ois_Arago/IATC1SNF">François Arago</a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="https://noms-geographiques.app.ge.ch/voie/geneve/chemin-auger">Chemin Auger</a></td><td>Meyrin</td><td>Meyrin</td><td><a href="/facts/Pierre_Victor_Auger/LG59Ez5I">Pierre Victor Auger</a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="https://noms-geographiques.app.ge.ch/voie/geneve/route-babbage">Route Babbage</a></td><td>Meyrin</td><td>Meyrin</td><td><a href="/facts/Charles_Babbage/T3jklQcd">Charles Babbage</a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="https://noms-geographiques.app.ge.ch/voie/geneve/route-bakker">Route Bakker</a></td><td>Meyrin</td><td>Meyrin</td><td><a href="/facts/Cornelis_Bakker/8lzD0SPj">Cornelis Bakker</a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="https://noms-geographiques.app.ge.ch/voie/geneve/route-balmer">Route Balmer</a></td><td>Meyrin</td><td>Meyrin</td><td><a href="/facts/Johann_Jakob_Balmer/ch0gMgpj">Johann Jakob Balmer</a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="https://noms-geographiques.app.ge.ch/voie/geneve/route-becquerel">Route Becquerel</a></td><td>Meyrin</td><td>Meyrin, Satigny</td><td><a href="/facts/Henri_Becquerel/wN7DSsVL">Henri Becquerel</a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="https://noms-geographiques.app.ge.ch/voie/geneve/route-bell">Route Bell</a></td><td>Meyrin</td><td>Meyrin</td><td><a href="/facts/John_Stewart_Bell/vsrqUAX3">John Stewart Bell</a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="https://noms-geographiques.app.ge.ch/voie/geneve/route-bloch">Route Bloch</a></td><td>Meyrin</td><td>Meyrin, Satigny</td><td><a href="/facts/Felix_Bloch/yrtqNe9a">Felix Bloch</a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="https://noms-geographiques.app.ge.ch/voie/geneve/route-bohr">Route Bohr</a></td><td>Meyrin</td><td>Meyrin</td><td><a href="/facts/Niels_Bohr/ydLPvQXT">Niels Bohr</a></td></tr><tr><td>Route Booster</td><td>Meyrin</td><td>Prévessin-Moëns</td><td>The <a href="/facts/Proton_Synchrotron_Booster/BJfbqgj3">Proton Synchrotron Booster</a></td></tr><tr><td>Route Born</td><td>Meyrin</td><td>Saint-Genis-Pouilly</td><td><a href="/facts/Max_Born/6VnUDWhA">Max Born</a></td></tr><tr><td>Route de Broglie</td><td>Prévessin</td><td>Saint-Genis-Pouilly</td><td><a href="/facts/Louis_de_Broglie/v696wFwH">Louis de Broglie</a></td></tr><tr><td>Route Budker</td><td>Prévessin</td><td>Prévessin-Moëns</td><td><a href="/facts/Gersh_Budker/a2mpWsrb">Gersh Budker</a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="https://noms-geographiques.app.ge.ch/voie/geneve/chemin-de-la-berne">Chemin de la Berne</a></td><td>N/A</td><td>Meyrin</td><td></td></tr><tr><td><a href="https://noms-geographiques.app.ge.ch/voie/geneve/route-cavendish">Route H.
