GCC 2025 will be held from November 7 - 9, 2025 at the Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, Massachusetts. The drive between Woods Hole and Boston is approximately 1.5 hours. Transportation between Boston and Woods Hole will be provided. Please email gradclimateconference@gmail.com for any inquries. Thank you!
Transportation
We will provide transportation between the Boston Logan Airport and the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, but we can only ensure transport for you if you are attending the entire conference. You should receive an email assigning you to a bus. Please get on your assigned bus. The bus schedule will be as follows:
November 7th:
- 8:30 am: Bus from MIT to Boston Logan Airport to Woods Hole
- Note: This bus will arrive at Boston Logan Airport around 9:00 am
- 10:00 am: Bus from Boston Logan Airport to Woods Hole
The bus will pick up from and drop off at Terminal B of Boston Logan Airport and by the Massachusetts Avenue and Amherst Street intersection on the MIT campus. Please refer to the below maps for the exact pick-up points.
Conference accomdations will be at MBL’s SWOPE building. Check in is at 2 pm as shown on the Schedule. Before then, we will need to store belongings in the auditorium. Please refer to the maps linked above for these building locations.
November 9th:
- 12:30 pm: Bus from Woods Hole to Boston Logan Airport to MIT
- 12:30 pm: Bus from Woods Hole to Boston Logan Airport
In the event that you need to take a bus to augment these conference-provided transport options, we have found that tickets are available and cheapest via the Peter Pan bus line or the Plymouth & Brockton bus line.
Please note: We will arrange for buses to pick attendees up at Boston Logan Airport, so no one except those local to the area should need to make their way to MIT to recieve transport. However, in the event that it is necessary, you can use the MBTA (referred to as the “T”), which includes the subway, bus and commuter rail system in Boston, to make your way to the MIT campus. The OpenMBTA smartphone app is a great way to track bus/subway arrival and departure times when using public transportation in Boston. The MIT campus is located at the Kendall/MIT stop on the Red Line of the subway system.
Meals
We’ve shared a list of attendees with dietary needs (e.g., allergies, vegan, gluten-free, lactose intolerance, etc.) with the Marine Biological Laboratory dining staff. If you requested a special meal, please identify yourself to the kitchen staff at each meal to ensure you receive the meal prepared specifically for you.
As a reminder, all meals served at the conference will be vegetarian. The dining team is familiar with our group and will do their best to accommodate any additional requests as needed. If you feel you will need more protein than provided, please bring your own. Personal snacks are welcome and encouraged!
Post-Conference
To wrap up the weekend, the organizing committee has compiled a list of activities for a self-guided and attendee-organized social afternoon in Boston. Explore the city with new friends, enjoy some great food, and celebrate the close of another incredible GCC! Feel free to use the WhatsApp group to coordinate with other attendees.
