Price for MIRP 2025

Participation fee: 150€
Participation+support fee: 180€

Once you subscribe and your participation is accepted, you will be connected to someone for the fee payment. If you would like to contribute to the future of MIRP, you could pay us participation + support fee. The support would give us a headstart for organising the next MIRP’s and working a bit on our 10 years archive.


The fee will cover your stay in shared rooms, coffee and snacks, dinners and lunches included during our MIRP-days in Destelheide.

The fee does not cover your travel.

You will be staying in shared rooms on site, with two or four people. The rooms are recently renovated, large and modern, with a separate bathroom and balcony. If you prefer a single room, there are options further away (around 45 minutes walk from the venue and it’s gonna be winter time) at the same price.
Transport to Amsterdam for Oorzaken Festival on 11 December is also included in your fee.

Oorzaken Festival 2025

After MIRP you can join us at Oorzaken Festival in Amsterdam

Oorzaken: Friday December 12th and Saturday December 13th

  • Friday 12th: Maker’s Day
  • Saturday 13th: festival day


From 11 to 13 December  you are free to book your own accommodation in Amsterdam. Unfortunately, Amsterdam is not a very cheap place to stay. Here’s a list of accommodations that are a bit more affordable. Please keep in mind: everything is cheaper when you book early!

As for the festival, there’s a pass for the Professionals Day alone and a double deal for the two days of the whole festival. On the Professionals Day you can attend masterclasses, panels, State of the Union by an internationally acclaimed narrative podcast star. The Public Day will consist of listening sessions, talks, performances, audio walks and many more. Keep your eyes on the website of Oorzaken for the program. 

There is an Early Bird deal before 1 September: € 145 for the Professionals Day on Friday 12 December and a joint deal of €170 for the Professionals Day on Friday  + Public Day on Saturday 13 December.
After 1 September prizes will be €160 to €185.

Deadlines

The deadline to apply for MIRP is 15 July 2025 12:00.
We have 70 places available for MIRP. 

So be quick. 

You will receive your confirmation for attending on 30 July 2025, together with a link for the payment. 

The deadline for payment is 10 August 2025.

If you have any trouble with the payment, please let us know, otherwise your place might go to someone else.

Once your subscription is complete, the board will start mixing and matching all the different suggestions and questions together. In September we might reach out to you and ask if you’d like to make your suggestion into a session, perhaps matched with someone with a similar idea. This is what makes MIRP so exciting!

We will communicate the program end of October 2025.

Where to stay and eat 

MIRP will take care of all of your accommodation and food during the MIRP days from the evening of Monday December 8th to noon of Thursday December 11th 2025.

Transport 

Destelheide (Dworp) is close to the international airport of Brussels Zaventem.

There is a train from Zaventem to the train station of Halle, where we will wait for you in the railway station with directions for a bus (bus R 53, in the direction of Ninove, Drogenbos, Anderlecht).

If you plan on going to Oorzaken as well, you can also fly to Amsterdam and take a direct train to Brussels and then Halle.

On Thursday 11 December a bus will take us to Amsterdam city centre to arrive in the afternoon, thanks to Oorzaken Festival.

We are looking forward to seeing you all in Dworp!
