      abstract     = {Soon after the discovery of the basic principles of quantum
                      mechanics theorists set out to explain the properties of
                      solids from a first-principles, atomistic perspective.
                      However, it soon became clear that theoretical methods based
                      on the calculation of fermionic many-particle wave functions
                      are notoriously difficult to handle. A crucial step forward
                      was density-functional theory (DFT) and its local-density
                      approximation (LDA). The success of DFT in explaining the
                      physical and chemical properties of solids is remarkable.
                      Nevertheless, LDA and its generalizations fail for systems
                      whose low-energy properties are dominated by
                      electron-electron correlations, such as Mott-insulating
                      transition-metal oxides, Kondo and heavy-fermion materials,
                      organic crystals, and many others. The realistic description
                      of these strongly correlated materials remains, to date, one
                      of the grand challenges of condensed matter-physics. During
                      the last few years conventional band-structure calculations
                      in the local density approximation (LDA) have been merged
                      with a modern many-body approach, the dynamical mean-field
                      theory (DMFT), into a novel computational method referred to
                      as LDA + DMFT. This framework has proved to be a
                      breakthrough for the realistic modeling of the electronic,
                      magnetic, and structural properties of materials such as
                      transition metals and their oxides. Nevertheless the LDA +
                      DMFT approach still needs to be considerably advanced to be
                      able to treat increasingly complex systems. This requires,
                      for example, an improvement of the interface between the
                      band structure and many-body constituents of the approach,
                      the refinement and integration of efficient impurity
                      solvers, the realistic computation of free energies and
                      forces, and the development of schemes to treat non-local
                      correlations. For this purpose 25 researchers from 16
                      different institutions in the German-speaking part of Europe
                      joined forces and established the Research Unit FOR 1346 on
                      $\textit{Dynamical Mean-Field Approach with Predictive Power
                      for Strongly Correlated Materials}$, which is funded by the
                      Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft since July 2010. It is the
                      goal of this Research Unit to develop the LDA + DMFT
                      framework into a comprehensive $\textit{ab initio}$ approach
                      which will be able to describe, and eventually even predict,
                      the properties of complex correlated materials. By
                      organizing the 2011 Autumn School $\textit{Hands-on LDA +
                      DMFT}$ the researchers of the DFG Research Unit FOR 1346
                      offer a practical introduction into the LDA + DMFT approach
                      for graduate students and young researchers in this novel
