Many-body systems far away from thermal equilibrium can show a much wider<br />
range of characteristics than equilibrium systems. Among the wealth of possible<br />
non-equilibrium many- body configurations most interesting c<strong>and</strong>idates are those<br />
which show universal behavior. We present a selection of such phenomena in ultracold<br />
<strong>Bose</strong> gases, characterized by specific power-laws in space <strong>and</strong> time. These<br />
are closely related to the presence <strong>and</strong> turbulent dynamics of (quasi-)topological<br />
defects in the <strong>Bose</strong> field, which generically appear far from equilibrium. Examples<br />
include interaction quenches in 1D, condensate perturbations in 2D <strong>and</strong><br />
rapid evaporative cooling in 3D.<br />
