Project narrative

On October 26, 2016, the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban) and University of Luxembourg signed an agreement to establish the Confucius Institute at the University of Luxembourg. 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. On November 1, 2016, University of Luxembourg and Fudan University (复旦大学), the cooperating partner, signed a supplementary implementation agreement. Fudan 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 19, 2018. As of January 2024, it has trained 1,000 students since its opening.
