Specialist Steering Committee

In 2006, a Specialist Steering Committee (Comité d'Orientation Scientifique or COS) was set up within the Memorial to reinforce its status as a place for specialist research and debate.
It was this specialist committee that devised the strategy for the new “memorial-museum”, based on three priorities:

a museum commemorating a French and German battle, and not a battle viewed primarily from a French viewpoint,
at the heart of the battlefield,
desired and established by Verdun veterans as a Memorial.
