Consistent truncations of gravitational theories is a subject with a long history, and the classification of all possible consistent truncations is still an open problem. The language of generalised geometry offers a convenient way to study consistent truncations of supergravity by reformulating the problem in terms of a geometrical one. In this talk, I will introduce the framework of generalised geometry, and show how this can be used to find some new examples of manifolds with suitable properties to admit consistent truncations of supergravity.
