Some classical algebraic structures like Gerstenhaber's bracket on the Hochschild complex have an operadic origin. We discuss generalizations of these operations coming from different operadic type settings. This includes geometric constructions from moduli spaces and master equations appearing in string topology and in a "pedestrian" version of string field theory.
