Norwegian Defence International Centre

- an international military peacekeeping training centre, recognized for current expertise in multidimentional and integrated operations

The Norwegian Defence International Centre (NODEFIC) is conducting courses and seminars on topics related to international peace operations. Most of the courses are results of excellent Nordic co-operation.


Nordic co-operation in the education of officers and military forces bound for duty in international peace operations has existed since the early 1960's. The co-operation has since then been formalized and extended. NODEFIC is on behalf of the Norwegian armed forces responsible for the Norwegian part of the co-operation. We are conducting courses in many different topics, among others logistics, reimbursement and DDR.

Our international courses are open for "everybody", but with a priority for Nordic and Norwegian students. However, international students from the entire world are also welcomed to Oslo and NODEFIC. In the last 10 years, students from more than 108 nations have been participating in our courses.
