The purpose of this report is not to repeat the contents of our earlier reports, but rather to look at the discussions that took place over the last two years in the realm of data infrastructures. It is important to consider these as they are likely to have a significant impact on EUDAT in the present phase of the project. In particular, we present the summary of the RDA Europe Data Practices Report to which EUDAT contributed,  discuss the principles outlined by the G8 ministers, FORCE11, FAIR, and Nairobi (and indicate their possible consequences), present a number of trends that were observed in the many discussions where EUDAT participated, and discuss some ideas for common components of data infrastructures that emerged from RDA discussions, in particular in the Data Fabric Interest group. The project has taken these principles, trends and possible components into consideration and as a result EUDAT has undertaken concrete actions with respect to many of the relevant issues, is very much involved in the on-going data discussions, and has chosen a structure for the coming phase of the project that makes it possible to adapt to new developments. The priorities for EUDAT in the present phase are to promote the current five core services so they are more widely utilised, stabilize them and extend them with new functionality, to complete the work on the semantic annotation service and the workflow framework so they can be offered as professional services, to start looking into several services that seem to be of interest for the research communities based on recent discussions (such as a Data Type Registry), to organize a brainstorming session with distinguished research community experts to investigate likely future needs and developments with regard to the handling of research data, to use the Working Group construct to follow up some significant issues of interest, and to continue to participate in and contribute to the on-going global data discussions (for example, in the RDA).
