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

Project narrative

In 2012, the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban) and Colorado State University signed an agreement to establish the Confucius Institute at Colorado 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 2012, Colorado State University and Hunan University (湖南大学), the cooperating partner, signed a supplementary implementation agreement. Hunan 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 March 20, 2012. The Confucius Institute closed on June 30, 2021.
