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.

There is a new emblem (and flag) but I cannot confirm when this change took place. The flag is the emblem centered on a grey-ish background; it can be seen here.
