The Confucius Institute have been playing a very important role in CUG’s internationalization efforts. Through the open platform of the Confucius Institute, many scholars and students have participated in exchanges programs sponsored by CUG and the partner university; CUG arts troupe has visited and performed abroad; international renowned artists have visited CUG campus and organized exhibitions/performances here; and every year, CUG plays host to “Experience China” events, which are participated by dozens of international students and educators organized by the Confucius Institute.
