   Title: Some remarks on Generalized Geometries

Abstract.  I'll give a brief introduction to the notions of a
generalized geometry as introduced by Hitchin in 2003, particularly
generalized complex structures and generalized contact structures.  I'll
mention the main results proved in this area and give a description of
problems I am working on involving generalized contact structures.
