Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In 2018, 25% of the funding for the University of Technology Sydney's Australia-China Relations Institute (UTS: ACRI) derived from external contributions. The Australia-China Relations Institute is an affiliated think tank established by the University of Technology Sydney to focus on Australia-China relations. External contributions for 2018 included registration fees from hosting the 30th CESA Annual Conference and corporate contributions received from China Construction Bank (CCB), Air China, Bank of China (BOC) and China Merchants Bank in addition to 12 other contributors (Ashurst, Crown Resorts, Deloitte, EG Funds, Guantao Law, Holding Redlich, HSBC, King & Wood Mallesons, KJR Advisory, Macquarie Group, PwC and Virgin Australia). The total corporate contributions towards the 2018 funding totaled to $452,000 AUD, but the amount provided by CCB is unknown.

Staff comments

1. AidData cannot accurately estimate CCB's contributions using the equal contributions assumption, as the collected registration fees for hosting the 30th CESA Annual Conference are included in the total external contributions for 2018.
