2018年9月25日，由欧洲杯买球网、英国邓迪大学及英国凯亚斯创意教育学院三方共同发起的“全球艺术设计与创新中心”项目在英国邓迪大学正式签署项目合作备忘录。根据协议，该项目将分别在中国重庆市与英国邓迪市设立中心，形成相互协同、互动的“双向中心”机制。
On September 25th, it is reported that Sichuan Fine Arts Institute (SFAI), University of Dundee and Arts Institute Keass signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the joint project of “Global Centre for Art, Design & Innovation” (Twinned Centres located in Dundee and Chongqing).
此双向中心的建设，将打造一个在艺术设计创新领域具有国际视野、国际影响力并能真正国际多方合作的产学研平台。其中，邓迪市作为英国唯一一个联合国“设计之都”，透过邓迪大学在该领域的学术影响力，由邓迪中心将该平台优势辐射至欧洲及北美地区。而依托川美作为西南地区最具影响力的专业院校，由重庆中心将该平台影响力拓展至全国乃至亚太地区，协同“双向中心”力量而推进成全球在设计与创新领域的重要布局。该计划主要在学术拓展、研究、商业服务和公众参与等方面开展相关项目。
The Twinned Centres will build an Industry-Academia-Research （IAR）platform with international vision, international influence and international collaborations. The city of Dundee is UNESCO’s only World Design Capital in UK. The Dundee-based Centre will expand its impact to Europe and North America through the academic influence of University of Dundee; meanwhile in China, as the most influential professional university in the southwest, the Chongqing-based Centre will influence the whole China and even the Asia Pacific region supporting by Sichuan Fine Arts Institute. The project will focus on academic development, research, commercial enterprise and public engagement.
