# Create a Project

Once you have your data, your Ontology, and a Workflow template, it is time to create a Project. Labels are created and reviewed within Projects. Projects tie together Datasets, Ontologies, and labels.

Substitute the following values into the script below:

* \<private\_key\_path> with the path to your private key.
* \<project\_title> with the title you want to give the Project.
* \<dataset\_hash> with the hash of the Dataset(s) you want to attach to the Project.
* \<ontology\_hash> with the hash of the Ontology you created for this Project (output in [Step 1](/sdk-documentation/getting-started-sdk/sdk-get-started-ontology)).
* \<template\_hash> with the hash of the Workflow template. To use the default Workflow template the `workflow_template_hash` argument must be omitted.

<Warning>
  If a \<template\_hash> is omitted a Workflow Project with the default **Standard workflow** is created.
</Warning>

<Tip>
  To use an existing template when creating a Project, users must have Admin privileges on the template. We recommend creating a copy of the Workflow template before Project creation, to ensure you have Admin privileges.

  ```python Sample Code theme={"dark"}
  # Import dependencies
  from encord.user_client import EncordUserClient

  # Authenticate using the path to your private key. Replace \<private_key_path> with the path to your key
  user_client = EncordUserClient.create_with_ssh_private_key(
      ssh_private_key_path="<private_key_path>"
      )

  # Create a project. Substitute the project title, dataset hashes, and template hash. 
  project = user_client.create_project(
      project_title="<project_title>",
      dataset_hashes=["<dataset_hash_1>", "<dataset_hash_2>"],
      ontology_hash= "<ontology_hash>"
      workflow_template_hash="<template_hash>"
  )

  # Prints the Project hash
  print (project.project_hash)
  ```

  ```Example output theme={"dark"}
