Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In 2009, the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban) and Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore UCSC signed an agreement to establish the Confucius Institute at UCSC Milan Campus. 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, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore UCSC and Beijing Language and Culture University (北京语言大学), the cooperating partner, signed a supplementary implementation agreement. Beijing Language and Culture 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 July 20, 2009.

Staff comments

1. The Chinese name of the Confucius Institute is 米兰天主教圣心大学孔子学院. 2. The precise establishment date of this Confucius Institute is unknown. For the time being, AidData has coded the commitment_year field as 2009 as this was the year this Confucius Institute was established and marked the committment_year_estimated? field as True. This issue merits further investigation.
