Maverick Television has teamed up with the University of Warwick to launch an online science TV channel.

The site, ideasforlife.tv, promotes inspiring scientific projects based around the core themes of energy, medicine, health, digital media and transport, many of them conducted by the University.

More than 50 videos are on the site at launch. Maverick has made 24 new short docs for the site, with a further 23 coming from the university and the remainder taken from scientific video archives.

It aims to make science more accessible to encourage the local community to be more involved and to showcase major scientific initiatives in the West Midlands.

Ideas for Life was developed with the support of development agency Advantage West Midlands as part of the nationwide Science Week and national and international versions are being considered.
