Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On April 24, 2007, Kazan Federal University (KPFU) of Russia and the Office of Chinese Council International (Hanban) signed an Agreement on the Establishment of a Confucius Institute. The agreement specified that Hanban would donate $50,000 to $100,000 of cash assistance, donate 3000 books and multimedia materials, and supply 1-2 Chinese language teachers at no cost to KPFU. KPFU, in turn, agreed to provide the necessary accommodations and administrative staff to support the operations of the Confucius Institute. The agreement had a five year term but it was renewable. An opening ceremony for the Confucius Institute was held on May 30, 2007 and its operations began in September 2007. The institute offers the HSK (Chinese Proficiency Test) and HSKK (Oral International Exams).

Staff comments

The Dropbox link that is included in the source field provides the actual April 24, 2007 Agreement on the Establishment of a Confucius Institute (in Russian). For the time being, AidData identifies the value of the grant commitment that supported this Confucius Institute as $50,000. The actual value is almost certainly higher in light of the Hanban’s in-kind contributions.
