Project narrative

On September 1, 2008, the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban) and the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freuburg signed an agreement to establish the Confucius Institute at the University of Freiburg. 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 2009, the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freuburg and Nanjing University, the cooperating partner, signed a supplementary implementation agreement. Nanjing 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 October 2010. The city of Freiburg (represented by the Freiburg Economy, Tourism and Trade Fair, FWTM) was one of the co-founders of the Confucius Institute.
