This workshop was organized by INCF and David Willshaw in Edinburgh, July 23-25, 2008. At this workshop the needs for training in neuroinformatics in the context of the current opportunities and challenges were discussed. The delivery of two types of training was of particular interest. (i), Given that neuroinformatics requires the acquisition of knowledge from different disciplines, generally it is best for students to acquire the necessary background at the Masters level. Neuroinformatics Masters courses are an appropriate training medium for PhD students before embarking on their research; an ideal PhD course in neuroinformatics is described. (ii), PhD students who cannot profit from substantial Masters level training, researchers entering at the postdoctoral level and, in principle, academic staff, will all benefit from suitable short courses, which can range from a fraction of a day to a few weeks in duration. Seven recommendations for the INCF were made, aimed at improving the provision of the appropriate training at national and international levels. These include: the inclusion in the INCF Portal information about current training material and information about training material of all kinds: the development of new short training courses and the support of existing ones, the development of a specific programme in neuroinformatics training, as well as future workshops on training. A list of the current training provision known to participants is contained in Appendix A and Appendix B gives a set of Web links relevant to neuroinformatics training issues.
