Abstract: Emergent phenomena are the hallmark of many-body systems, and yet to unravel their nature remains one of the central challenges in condensed-matter physics. In order to advance our understanding it is crucial to learn from the different manifestations of emergence as well as from the interplay of different emergent phases, such as magnetism and superconductivity. For addressing such problems, it is necessary to master a broad spectrum of techniques from traditionally separate branches of research, ranging from $\textit{ab-initio}$ approaches based on densityfunctional theory to advanced many-body methods, electron-lattice coupling and dynamics. In these lecture notes we analyze emergence in some of its major manifestations in the solid-state and compare methodologies used to address specific aspects. The aim of the school is to introduce advanced graduate students and up to the essence of emergence and to the modern approaches for modeling emergent properties of correlated matter. A school of this size and scope requires support and help from many sources. We are very grateful for all the financial and practical support we have received. The Institute for Advanced Simulation and the German Research School for Simulation Sciences at the Forschungszentrum Jülich provided the funding and were vital for the organization of the school and the production of this book. The Institute for Complex Adaptive Matter (ICAM) offered travel support for international speakers and participants. The nature of a school makes it desirable to have the lecture-notes available already during the lectures. In this way the participants get the chance to work through the lectures thoroughly while they are given. We are therefore extremely grateful to the lecturers that, despite a tight schedule, provided their manuscripts in time for the production of this book. We are confident that the lecture notes collected here will not only serve the participants of the school but will also be useful for other students entering the exciting field of strongly correlated materials. We thank Mrs. H. Lexis of the Forschungszentrum Jülich Verlag as well as Mr. D. Laufenberg and Mrs. C. Reisen of the Graphische Betriebe for providing their expert support in producing the present volume on a tight schedule. We heartily thank our students and postdocs that helped in proofreading the manuscripts, often on quite short notice: Michael Baumgärtel, Khaldoon Ghanem, Evgeny Gorelov, Esmaeel Sarvestani, Amin Kiani Sheikhabadi, Joaquin Miranda, German Ulm, Guoren Zhang, and in particular Hunter Sims. Finally, our special thanks go to Dipl.-Ing. R. Hölzle for his invaluable advice on the innumerable questions concerning the organization of such an endeavour and to Mrs. L. Snyders and Mrs. E. George for expertly handling all practical issues.
