Hanban provides a grant for the establishment of Confucius Institute at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville

Project narrative

On September 15, 2007, the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban) and University of Wisconsin-Platteville signed an agreement to establish the Confucius Institute at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. 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, University of Wisconsin-Platteville and South-central University for Nationalities (中南民族大学), the cooperating partner, signed a supplementary implementation agreement. South-central University for Nationalities agreed to provide one or two visiting scholars annually, donate teaching materials, and receive student study groups. The Confucius Institute was officially established in June 2008. The Confucius Institute closed in 2021.
