Abstract: We first consider the reduction of exact Courant algebroids. Then we use it to show that any brane in a generalized complex manifold is endowed with a natural foliation and that the quotient, when smooth, is again a generalized complex manifold. We will also comment on the description of these reduction procedures in terms of graded manifolds.
