The Civil-Military Cooperation (CIMIC) COE focuses on improving civil-military interaction and cooperation between NATO, Sponsoring Nations and other military and civil groups by utilising the skills and experts of CIMIC's own staff. CIMIC offers basic courses on civilian-military cooperation, a course geared towards staff who work in civilian-military cooperation, training for liaison officers and a course for functional specialists. The experience and expertise of CIMIC is available to NATO members, Sponsoring Nations, military and civil groups, as well as other international organisations, such as the European Union, non-governmental organizations and scientific institutions. Founded by Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and Poland, the CIMIC sought NATO accreditation as a COE in 2006. It received accreditation in 2007. Sponsoring Nations include all of the Founding Nations, plus Latvia, Slovenia and Hungary. Belgium is a Contributing Nation. It is located in Enschede, the Netherlands.
Its flag is white with its logo in the center of the flag.
