# Join a research project

In Nuvolos, joining a research project is by invitation only. You have to first receive, then accept a valid invitation to join any project. To accept an invitation from a collaborator, proceed as follows:

1. Open the invitation email.
2. Click **Review Invitation** in the email.
3. Inspect the roles included in the invitation (e.g., Space Administrator, Instance Editor).
4. If you have never signed up for Nuvolos, complete the sign-up process.
5. Click **Accept Invitation**.

When accepting the invitation, we encourage you to proceed with the recommended option for your institution.
{% endhint %}
