1st International Congress of Human in Motion (ICHM)

For more than 20 years, the Science and Research Centre Koper (ZRS Koper) has organized the biennial Child in Motion conference, establishing itself as a reference event for research on child development and healthy growth.This conference has created a strong scientific and organizational foundation, bringing together researchers, practitioners, and policymakers around the importance of movement in early life.Building directly on this experience and expertise, ZRS Koper has expanded the original Child in Motion concept into a broader, lifespan-oriented initiative: the International Congress of Human in Motion (ICHM).While retaining its strong focus on movement science, ICHM extends the scope from childhood to all stages of life and integrates emerging topics in health, technology, and rehabilitation.The 1st International Congress of Human in Motion (Piran, 2025) was coorganized with partners from the European Union (Germany, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Slovenia) and Asia (Azerbaijan, Taiwan).The congress featured more than 150 scientific and professional presentations and four professional workshops and was structured around four thematic sections: Physical Activity vs Physical Inactivity, Healthy Ageing, Child in Motion, and Mobile Brain Body Imaging and XR Technologies in Healthcare.The congress highlighted human movement as a cornerstone of prevention and rehabilitation throughout the lifespan.
