Logistics

The workshop will be held at MIT Haystack Observatory in conference room A, which is on the first floor of the main building at 99 Millstone Road, Westford, MA 01886.

Unfortunately, public transportation to the site is unavailable. We recommend that all attendees make alternative transportation arrangements to reach the site. The easiest and most efficient option is to travel by car. A nearby train station is Lowell station, and Uber or Lyft would costs ~$30 from Lowell station to Haystack.

To ensure you get the most out of the hands-on session on 04 April, please download and install the Cycle 9 ALMA Observing Tool (OT). The Cycle 10 OT (required to prepare Cycle 10 proposals) will not be available until the Call for Proposals is released on 12 April. https://almascience.nrao.edu/proposing/observing-tool
