Project narrative

On July 4, 2016, the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban) and the University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM) signed an agreement to establish the Confucius Institute at University of Castilla-La Mancha. As part of the agreement, Hanban is obligated to provide teaching materials, an annual fund, and numbers of Chinese instructors. The funds are dispersed through a local Bank of China account or other approved bank account created by the institute. The agreement has a 5-year validity and automatically renews at the end of every 5-year term. In 2016, the University of Castilla-La Mancha and Nanchang University (南昌大学), the cooperating partner, signed a supplementary implementation agreement. Nanchang University agreed to provide one or two visiting scholars annually, donate teaching materials, and receive student study groups. The Confucius Institute was officially established on April 25, 2017.
