As in previous years, ICP-ANACOM maintained institutional partnerships with national organizations with relevance to the sector through 2011, seeking to promote the communications sector.
In particular, as founder of Fundação Portuguesa das Comunicações (FPC) (Portuguese Communications Foundation), ICP-ANACOM remained involved in the activity of the bodies in which it is represented. As part of the Communications Museum's educational project for the 2011/2012 academic year, directed especially at teachers, ICP-ANACOM produced a leaflet with information about the activities that can be developed in this Authority's "Mundo das Comunicações" (World of Communications) area, which is part of the museum's permanent exhibition.
In partnership with CTT and, in 2011, with the special participation of the Secretary of State for Forestry and Rural Development, ICP-ANACOM participated in organizing the 2011 edition of the "Best Letter" competition targeting young residents in Portugal aged between nine and 15. The chosen theme of this year's competition was "Imagine you are a tree living in a forest. Write a letter to someone to explain why it is important to protect forests”. The award ceremony took place on 11 October, during the commemorations to mark World Post Day, celebrated worldwide on 9 October. The winning letter was sent on to represent Portugal at the UPU's international letter-writing competition.
In 2011, ICP-ANACOM maintained institutional relationships with various organizations, including APDC, Associação para a Promoção e Desenvolvimento da Sociedade de Informação (APDSI) (Association for the Promotion and Development of the Information Society), Associação de Promoção do Multimédia em Portugal (APMP) (Association for Promoting Multimedia in Portugal), Observatório da Comunicação (OberCom) (Observatory for the Media) and Associação para as Comunicações, Electrónica, Informações e Sistemas de Informação para Profissionais (AFCEA Portugal) (Association for Communications, Electronics, Information Systems for Professionals).
