This School will feature tutorial style lectures introducing themes of broad interest in the areas of quantum gases, quantum optics and condensed matter physics from the ultracold atom perspective, providing a basis for new members of the community and deepening the knowledge of more experienced ones. Additional shorter seminar style talks will give a flavour of current trends in the field. All lectures will be given by leading scientists from around the world, but participants are strongly encouraged to present and discuss their own research, especially during a dedicated poster session. The level of the lectures will be aimed at graduate students and young post-docs. invited speakers: - E. Altman - E. Demler - F. Ferlaino - Z. Hadzibabic - S. Hofferberth - C. Koch - B. Lev - M.
