After the first Bose-Einstein condensates from dilute atomic vapors have been realized 15 years ago, research on ultracold quantum gases has matured into an immensely active and highly competitive field of contemporary physics. Now that also fermionic atoms have come into focus, an interdisciplinary community is forming itself on the borderlines between atomic and molecular physics, quantum optics, and many-body physics. The 514th Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Seminar "Quo vadis Bose-Einstein condensation? IV" will provide a coherent review of different facets of this rapidly evolving subject and outline future directions, bringing together younger scientists and leading researchers at the Physikzentrum in Bad Honnef, Germany in the period August 21 -- 25, 2012.

Please note that the Summer School "Low-Dimensional Many-Body Quantum Systems", which takes place in Trier, Germany in the period August 16 -- August 21, 2012, represents a satellite event directly prior to the 514th Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Seminar.
