The Royal Danish Defence College is the joint knowledge centre of the Danish Defence. The college contributes to national and international tasks and to the further development of the Danish Defence through education, research, consultancy and
knowledge management.

Activities are predominantly targeted towards other institutions within the Danish Defence and revolve around the military core disciplines such as military operations, strategy, security policy, military leadership and military history. In addition, the Danish Defence Library and the Danish Defence E-learning Centre.

The Royal Danish Defence College continuously monitors the requirements of the Danish Defence and of the wider Danish society for new knowledge in military affairs, and it constantly strives to adapt its organisation and activities to meet these requirements.
The motto of the Royal Danish Defence College - ”Sapientia et providentia” - translates to ”Wisdom and providence”. With this motto we aim to establish ourselves as an internationally recognized military institution in education and research and to create a greater understanding of military affairs in Danish Defence and Danish society.
