Project narrative

On September 21, 2012, the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban) and the University of California, Davis, signed an agreement to establish the Confucius Institute at University of California, Davis. 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 2012, University of California, Davis and Jiangnan University (江南大学), the cooperating partner, signed a supplementary implementation agreement. Jiangnan 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 16, 2013 and it was closed in 2020.
