There is no need for adaptation of the Venet-model so far, the BAP fits perfectly into the model, but we see that every partnership is a „unique“ situation!

The added value is the whole picture, the model itself and the exchange of experiences.

The transfer to our national project takes place in meetings (through presentations for example) and informal communication via shared offices.

There is no documentation of the transfer so far.
