Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In 2007, the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban) and Wayne State University signed an agreement to establish the Confucius Institute at Wayne State 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, Wayne State University and Huazhong University of Science and Technology, the cooperating partner, signed a supplementary implementation agreement. Huazhong University of Science and Technology (华中科技大学) agreed to provide one or two visiting scholars annually, donate teaching materials, and receive student study groups. The Confucius Institute was officially established on June 27, 2007. The Confucius Institute closed on January 30, 2021.

Staff comments

1. The Chinese name of the Confucius Institute is 伟恩州立大学孔子学院. 2. The precise establishment date of this Confucius Institute is unknown. For the time being, AidData has coded the commitment_year field as 2007 as this was the year this Confucius Institute was established and marked the committment_year_estimated? field as True. This issue merits further investigation.
