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

Project narrative

In October 31, 2014, the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban) and the Temple University signed an agreement to establish the Confucius Institute at Temple 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 2014, Temple University and Zhejiang Normal University (浙江师范大学), the cooperating partner, signed a supplementary implementation agreement. Zhejiang 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 in May 2015. The Confucius Institute closed on June 30, 2021.
