Hanban provides a grant for the establishment of the Confucius Institute at Central Connecticut State University

Project narrative

On May 20, 2013, the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban) and the Central Connecticut State University signed an agreement to establish the Confucius Institute at Central Connecticut 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 2013, Central Connecticut State University and Shandong Normal University (山东师范大学), the cooperating partner, signed a supplementary implementation agreement. Shandong 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 June 5, 2014. The Confucius Institute closed on June 30, 2021.
