About

How Did it Start?

2019 marks the year in which Sandra de Vries founded PULSAQUA. As a water management engineer, experienced in project set-up and management, citizen science research methods, and connecting science to policy and people, she aimed to work with people interested in reaching a certain goal, using citizen science methods.

We are curious to learn more about your goals to reach them together through citizen science.

Projects

Over the years, we’ve been involved in a variety of projects, including DANUBE4all, Alle Scholen Verzamelen, and Heel Wielwijk Meet. In these initiatives, we’ve taken on diverse roles such as coordinator, project lead, and contributor to specific phases of the process.

Our team

Over time, PULSAQUA grew into a dedicated, multidisciplinary team of experts. Our team is passionate about understanding your goals and supporting you in achieving them through citizen science.

What is in the name?

The name PULSAQUA refers to momentum (P), or so-called impulsive force, which is the product of the mass (M) and velocity (V) of an object:

P = M x V

At PULSAQUA, we induce an momentum by creating a big mass (input of many citizen scientists) with a well-directed velocity (the collaboration between PULSAQUA and clients).

Therefore, a warm welcome to all (future) citizen scientists and clients, together we will be able to bring momentum!
