In this talk we will present the state of the art of a recent approach developed in Double Field Theory. This generalizes some old ideas by Bergshoeff and de Roo, leading to first order curvature corrections in supergravity through an effective realization of gravity as a vector supermultiplet. Surprisingly, this identification admits an exact realization in DFT that allows for an infinite tower of alpha? corrections in the effective action description of String Theory.
