Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In 2017, the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban) signed an agreement with Autonomous University of Barcelona (Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona) to provide a grant for the renovation of the Confucius Institute in Barcelona as part of its designation as a "Model Confucius Institute". Autonomous University of Barcelona will also provide money to fund the project over 10 years. In 2017, an inauguration ceremony was held to mark the completion of the project.

Staff comments

1. As this is a "Model Confucius Institute", which is a common renovation project for Confucius Institutes funded by Hanban grants, AidData has coded Hanban as the specific government institution funding the project and the project as a grant. 2. The precise establishment date of this Model Confucius Institute is unknown. For the time being, AidData has coded the commitment_year field as 2017 as this was the year the Model Confucius Institute it was established and marked the committment_year_estimated? field as True. This issue merits further investigation.
