Argentum's EU Green Deal Strategy : Advancing Innovation in Four Key Projects

Our true, long-held belief in visionary solutions for a sustainable future made us incredibly excited when we heard about the submission of essential consortia grant offers as part of the European Union Green Deal endeavor from the team at Argentum. To this end, we submitted four significant proposals on January 26th, 2021, just before the conclusion of the last major call of Horizon 2020, which touched on several topics involving more than 100 participants from 27 countries across two continents.

How to Avoid Proposal Deadline Stress

Running a business according to deadlines is one of Argentum’s primary practices that shapes and organizes its workloads while determining timetables. They could even seep into our out-of-work hours if they are not properly managed, leading to more strain.

Oceans, Lakes, Rivers, and EU Funding : A Crucial Link to Our Future

The development of mankind has heavily relied on water over the years. History indicates humanity's dependency on rivers, lakes, and oceans through time immemorial, since the most ancient communities formed near antique riverbanks to distant islands in vast seas where people could communicate due to the different cultures present. These natural resources sustain our lives and foster our prosperity even today. Oceans, rivers, lakes, and seas are not just places where we can admire beautiful scenery; these are the providers of life-long opportunities important for subsistence as well as future growth. Nonetheless, their health is increasingly endangered by numerous global threats. Therefore, Horizon Europe by the EU is making significant progress towards safeguarding these crucial ecosystems. The bond between human beings and bodies of water has several dimensions and distinctions; it’s complicated in nature as much as it is profound. For some people, it means peace during vacatio

The Added Value of Grant Writing for Acquiring Private Equity Funding

When you start to write a proposal for grant-making funds, you will, without much doubt, realize that the benefits are more than just getting money.

How to Avoid Proposal Deadline Stress?

At Argentum Consultants , we're so focused on meeting deadlines. They form the basis for us to run our business on plans, workloads, and timetables, and even after work hours sometimes. Therefore management of time is done poorly by them. While stressful at times, deadlines do move your business forward. It would be hard to run and prepare multiple bids otherwise. The Importance of Deadlines A deadline is a sword that has two sides.
