Recent work on Euler hierarchies of field theory Lagrangians iteratively constructed {}from their successive equations of motion is briefly reviewed. On the one hand, a certain triality structure is described, relating arbitrary field theories, {\it classical\ts} topological field theories -- whose classical solutions span topological classes of manifolds -- and reparametrisation invariant theories -- generalising ordinary string and membrane theories. On the other hand, {\it finite} Euler hierarchies are constructed for all three classes of theories. These hierarchies terminate with {\it universal\ts} equations of motion, probably defining new integrable systems as they admit an infinity of Lagrangians. Speculations as to the possible relevance of these theories to quantum gravity are also suggested.
