A Themelio Project is the primary organizational unit in the platform. It is best described as the intersection between a Waldur project (logical container for compute resources) and a GitLab group (hierarchical container for repositories, members, and access control). Themelio Projects provide isolation, access control, quota management, and billing organization. Each project has a scientific rationale, a defined timeframe, allocated hardware resources, and its own private Catalogue of Resources.

## Provisioned Subsystems

When a Themelio Project is approved, six subsystems are provisioned automatically — a Waldur order, a Kubernetes namespace, a Kubeflow profile, an MLflow workspace, GitLab subgroups, and an HPC Slurm account — together forming the project's isolated environment. See the [Core Requirements](../product/requirements/core.md#themelio-project) for the full breakdown.
