Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In 2010, the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban) and the University of Delaware signed an agreement to establish the Confucius Institute at The University of Delaware. 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 2010, University of Delaware and Xiamen University (厦门大学), the cooperating partner, signed a supplementary implementation agreement. Xiamen 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 October 19, 2010. The Confucius Institute closed in February 2020.

Staff comments

1. The Chinese name of the Confucius Institute is 特拉华大学孔子学院. 2. The precise establishment date of this Confucius Institute is unknown. For the time being, AidData has coded the commitment_year field as 2010 as this was the year this Confucius Institute was established and marked the committment_year_estimated? field as True. This issue merits further investigation.
