Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In October 2018, the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban) and Warsaw University of Technology signed an agreement to establish the Confucius Institute at Warsaw University of Technology (WUT). 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 2019, Warsaw University of Technology and Beijing Jiaotong University (北京交通大学), the cooperating partner, signed a supplementary implementation agreement. Beijing Jiaotong 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 September 23, 2019. It ended on May 23, 2023.
