G2 structure manifolds are a key ingredient in supersymmetric compactifications on seven-manifolds. We will discuss the fact that G2 structure manifolds admit refinements in the form of almost contact (3-) structures. In fact, there are infinite dimensional spaces of these structures. We will discuss topological and differential geometric aspects of (the space of) these refinements. We will then explore applications in physics, including supersymmetry enhancement. This is based on 2101.12605.
