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

Project narrative

In 2010, the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban) and the University of New Hampshire signed an agreement to establish the Confucius Institute at the University of New Hampshire. 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, the University of New Hampshire and Chengdu University (成都学院), the cooperating partner, signed a supplementary implementation agreement. Chengdu 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 26, 2010. Two more agreements were signed in 2015 and 2019. The Confucius Institute closed in 2021.
