Themed on “Let the world fall in love with Sichuan cuisine”, the World Sichuan Cuisine Conference combined government guidance with market-oriented operation to explore Sichuan cuisine culture in depth, build an international platform for the integration of Sichuan cuisine and the world’s characteristic catering cultures, promote the brand of Sichuan cuisine, spread the vitality of the city, and boost the development of the industry. As the co-organizer of this conference, SCTU has made important contributions to the success of the conference. A number of representative outcomes such as A Taste of Pidu have motivated the spread of the food culture of Pidu District and bolstered the international influence as well as the recognition of Chengdu as “the City of Gastronomy”, which is another important manifestation of SCTU in terms of industry-education integration and university-local government cooperation.
