The Institute is managed by one Chinese and one Turkish co-director, and the Executive Board consists of four professors from METU and the two co-directors. METU Confucius Institute employs native-speaking teachers of Chinese as well as part-time student assistants. The monetary value of the financial commitment that supported this project is unknown.
