Their main objective is not only to award a postgraduate student the title of a doctor, but also provide him with specific knowledge in particular domain and specialisation and prepare him for conducting his own independent research work. The number of postgraduate students in Poland in the academic year 2012/2013 amounted to 42, 295 people, 92% of which were carrying out their studies at state-run universities or higher schools. Obviously, universities play a dominating role in offering postgraduate studies, basically due to possessing appropriate resources of professional staff. These are the places where 48% of all Polish postgraduate students continue their postgraduate studies1. Unfortunately, a high number of postgraduate students is not reflected by the number of already started Ph.D. courses. Moreover, mainly due to a significant baby bust, fewer and fewer people awarded a doctorate degree decide to stay in higher education sector as more and more of them find jobs in public or private enterprises. Due to the fact that in Poland tourism is not considered to be a kind of science, there is no possibility to get awarded a doctorate degree in this domain. Thus, all the researchers of tourism related topics are forced to carry out their studies within the frames of such branches of science as economy, agriculture, physical education or some humanistic ones. The main reason for this is that in Poland there exists an opinion that the basic barrier that interferes treating tourism as a kind of science is the lack of sufficient methodological base. Unfortunately, such approach, apart from its undoubtable advantages like interdisciplinary character of researches and analyses that are being conducted, shows some significant 1 Higher Education Institutions and their Finances in 2012, Central Statistical Office, Warsaw 2013, p. 157 disadvantages since it results in the lack of the holistic view of the causes and effects of tourism development. An excellent opportunity for exchanging opinions and information on the conducted, often in a fragmentary way, researches are scientific conferences. Thanks to the subsidy provided by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education for DUN contest - the activity popularising science - it was possible to finance the participation of 40 postgraduate students in the II International Conference of Tourism, Hospitality and Recreation organized in Poznan. As a part of the above mentioned contest it is also possible to execute the tasks supporting the development of Polish science, mainly by means of its popularization and promotion. The recruitment of potential postgraduate students (for positions offered as a part of DUN contest) was done through the conference website and mailing aimed directly at scientific environment and the conference co-organizers. The main criterion used for selecting the best possible candidates for postgraduates was the quality of the abstract they sent in and their research work done so far. The postgraduate students who got qualified to participate in the conference represented 15 Polish universities. For all the participants of the conference mentioned above, i.e. scientists, practitioners and postgraduates representing almost all areas of widely defined free time industry (tourism, recreation, hotel business), the most desired effect of the organization of this conference was the opportunity to meet and discuss important issues concerning current matters of particular areas of science and those included in the conference agenda. It was also a perfect opportunity for the Polish researchers to present the results of their research work on international forum (work took place in subgroups specially created to discuss particular topics) and give them the chance to start new relationships that might result in future scientific co-operation. The conference organizers would like to express their sincere and deep gratitude to the Ministry of Science and Higher Education for supporting the event financially, promoting young scientists (postgraduates) and helping to make a big step forward in order to internationalise our local university. We would like to direct our special thanks to the representatives of the academic staff who, participating in the conference, kindly consented to back this international initiative.
