The aim of this proposal is to advance in the understanding of turbulent transport in magnetically confined fusion plasmas by studying the topology and dynamics of global flows. We will tackle concrete problems in three broad research areas of toroidally confined plasmas: topology of structures in the presence of turbulence (or, in short, "the topology of flows"), non-diffusive transport, and transitions to improved confinement regimes. Below, we summarize the concrete objectives in each of the aforementioned research lines, as well as progress made to date.
