Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In 2011, the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban) and University of Missouri signed an agreement to establish the Confucius Institute at the University of Missouri. 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 2011, University of Missouri and Shanghai Normal University (上海师范大学), the cooperating partner, signed a supplementary implementation agreement. Shanghai Normal 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 April 8, 2011. The second contract was signed on September 23, 2016. The Confucius Institute closed in August 2020.

Staff comments

1. The Chinese name of the Confucius Institute is 密苏里大学孔子学院. 2. The precise establishment date of this Confucius Institute is unknown. For the time being, AidData has coded the commitment_year field as 2011 as this was the year this Confucius Institute was established and marked the committment_year_estimated? field as True. This issue merits further investigation.
