Conference Description
Due to increased demand and pricing associated with the FIFA World Cup 2026 in the Boston area, GRC strongly encourages attendees
to make travel arrangements early to help minimize associated travel costs. We anticipate limited availability of hotel rooms,
rental cars, and transportation options departing from Boston, so please plan accordingly.
As a cost-effective transportation option, we encourage attendees to consider the GRC bus service, which can be reserved directly
through your myGRC account. Space is limited.
If you require an extended stay, please contact your COA, as GRC has secured a limited number of discounted rooms at the Embassy Suites
Boston Logan Airport.
The Environmental Endocrine Disruptors GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.
This seminar serves as a dynamic forum where emerging leaders in the field of EDCs can explore the latest scientific advances across multiple disciplines, including epidemiology, chemistry, biology, and toxicology. The 2026 GRS emphasizes scientific rigor, providing a platform for trainees to showcase their cutting-edge research to an audience of researchers from diverse backgrounds who share common research values but approach science from different angles. A central theme of the 2026 GRS will be Bridging Research Gaps, fostering dialogue around the big picture aim of making scientific findings more actionable. This includes addressing how we can bridge the language and results between fields to enhance the utility and impact of our collective work on EDCs. The GRS will create an open environment where scientific progress is enriched by diverse thought, providing space for innovative feedback. This collaborative spirit will allow for the refinement of research, identification of new avenues of inquiry, and ultimately strengthen the scientific quality within our EDC research community.
An outline of the program components for this GRS is displayed below. The seminar chair is currently developing their detailed program schedule, which will include the speakers they select from submitted abstracts, in addition to any additional components outlined below. The detailed program will be available by April 28, 2026. Please check back for updates.
