Global dreams for Confucius (4)

The Goethe-Institut, a non-profit German cultural association operating worldwide, has more than 2,000.

In November, Hanban launched a new project named the Confucius China Study Plan. The project supports foreign students seeking to complete PhD programs in designated academic areas of the humanities and social sciences in China, and sponsors experts and outstanding students for short-term exchanges.

"We plan to attract young experts in literature, history and philosophy in other countries to have more interests in Confucius Institutes," Xu said. For example, if the experts can teach some courses in Confucius Institutes after their exchange in China, they can give some credits to students at the Confucius Institutes.

"As a result, the Confucius Institutes will have a closer connection with the host universities, and will become an important part of the universities," Xu added.
