Project narrative

On February 5, 2007, the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban) and Kangwon National University signed an agreement to establish the Confucius Institute at Kangwon National University. 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 2007, Kangwon National University and Beihua University (北华大学), the cooperating partner, signed a supplementary implementation agreement. Beihua University agreed to provide one or two visiting scholars annually, donate teaching materials, and receive student study groups. The Confucius Institute began operations on April 3, 2007 and it was officially established on April 24, 2007.
