THERMOPHYSIOLOGY 450 YEARS AFTER SANTORIO SANTORIO
SCIENTIFIC MEETING – KINESIOLOGY FOR THE FUTURE – KOPER, 
MARCH 29TH AND 30TH, 2011
The first scientific meeting in honour of the (2011) double anniversary of Santorio 
Santorio in 2011, organized by the Universities of Primorska and Padua, which took 
place on March 29th and 30th, 2011, in Koper, Slovenia. March 29th was the 450th an-
niversary of Santorio’s birth in Koper.
The scientific meeting dealt with Santorio’s work from a historical perspective and 
the role of the university in his time as well as the importance of his work in the devel-
opment of kinesiology and its related sciences. There was a selection of current physi-
ological topics with an emphasis on thermophysiology. Talks were held by scientists 
from the region, so an insight into regional research was given as well. The scientific 
meeting strengthened the cooperation between the University of Primorska and the 
University of Padua which had previously been connected by joint research projects. 
Collaboration amongst students was initiated via the visit of three students from the 
University of Padua who attended the meeting. It is our hope that this collaboration 
will become stronger during the second meeting when students from the University of 
Primorska will visit Padua.
The second scientific meeting devoted to Santorio will be held in Padua on October 
5th and 6th, 2011, in honour of the 400th anniversary of the appointment of Santorio 
as a full professor at the University of Padua. This meeting will deal with Santorio’s 
inventions from a historical perspective and the tools used for the study of physiology 
during his time. Also presented during the meeting will be the intellectual environment 
in which he worked, and the meeting will continue with the themes from modern bio-
medicine. The second meeting is also jointly organized by both Universities.

TERMOFIZIOLOGIJA 450 LET PO SANTORIU SANTORIU
ZNANSTVENI SESTANEK – KINEZIOLOGIJA ZA PRIHODNOST, 
KOPER, 29. IN 30. MAREC 2011
Prvi znanstveni sestanek v čast dvojne obletnice Santoria Santoria v letu 2011, ki sta 
ga organizirali Univerza na Primorskem in Univerza v Padovi, se je odvil 29. in 30. marca 
2011 v Kopru. 29. marca je bila namreč 450-letnica Santorijevega rojstva v Kopru.
Sestanek je zajel zgodovinsko perspektivo Santorievega dela in pomena univerze v 
njegovem času ter pomen njegovega dela za kineziologijo in sorodne znanosti tedanje-
ga in sedanjega časa. Nadaljeval se je z aktualnimi temami iz fiziologije, s poudarkom 
na termofiziologiji. Predavali so znanstveniki iz regije in tako predstavili tudi znanstve-
no dogajanje v njej sami. Znanstveni sestanek je okrepil sodelovanje med Univerzo 
na Primorskem in Univerzo v Padovi, ki sta na raziskovalnih projektih sodelovali že 
predhodno. Z obiskom treh študentov z Univerze v Padovi so se začela tudi študentska 
povezovanja, upamo, da bodo slednja z udeležbo koprskih študentov na drugem sestan-
ku v Padovi še okrepljena.
Drugi znanstveni sestanek, posvečen Santoriu, bo 5. in 6. oktobra 2011 v Padovi, 
ob 400-letnici Santorievega imenovanja za rednega profesorja na Univerzi v Padovi. 
Sestanek bo zajel zgodovinsko perspektivo Santorievih izumov in pripomočkov za raz-
iskave v tedanji fiziologiji, predstavil intelektualno okolje, v katerem je deloval, in se 
nadaljeval s temami iz sodobne biomedicine. Tudi ta sestanek družno organizirata obe 
Univerzi.
