Ideas Lab Homepage

Audiences in Britain and beyond have an appetite for documentaries and factual series rooted in the very latest research and produced in collaboration with world-class experts.  Meanwhile funding bodies are realising the importance of disseminating knowledge gathered through research using public money.

Ideas Lab is an innovative new project funded through the Higher Education Innovation Fund. We help TV, radio and multimedia producers find and use the latest research, facilities and expertise in their programmes and web sites. And we provide academics with the contacts and know-how they need to reach audiences with the fruits of their research. 


How we can help you?

I am an academic               I am a producer
