 ## Join relevant NCI projects
+
+NCI is hosting a large amount of data for the climate community on its supercomputer <i>Gadi</i>. The access to this storage as well as to computing resources to run models and evaluate them is organised in *projects*.
+
+To be able to perform computations yourself, you need to join a project with computing resources. This project code will be provided by your supervisor, research project or institution.
+
 To join a project, search for it on <a href="https://my.nci.org.au/mancini/project-search" target="_blank">NCI website</a> and request membership.
 
-Every project has an ID (e.g. `xp65`). This ID is what the term <i>project</i> actually refers to.
-<br>
-The first project that you join will become your default one.

-If you want to change your default project, please check <a href="#change-default-project-on-gadi">how to change your default project on gadi</a>.
+Every project has an ID (e.g. `xp65`). This ID is what the term `$PROJECT` actually refers to.
 
-There are several NCI projects that may be relevant to you, depending on the tasks you want to carry out.

-Even though we recommend you have a chat with your supervisor to identify the relevant projects for your needs, the table below has a list of some of the most useful climate-related projects at NCI:
+The first project that you join will become your default one (you can change it later [here](#change-default-project-on-gadi)).
+
+Depending on the work you do (running a model, model evaluation, etc.), you need to be part of different projects. We list them under the *Getting Started* pages of the respective sections. 
+
+Here, we only show a few examples of projects that will be used by many users:
