Project narrative

On July 5, 2016, the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban) and the University of Zaragoza signed an agreement to establish the Confucius Institute at University of Zaragoza. 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 Zaragoza and Nanjing Tech University (南京工业大学), the cooperating partner, signed a supplementary implementation agreement. Nanjing Tech 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 June 7, 2017.
