In addition to the National committees, three joint Baltic agencies were started in the spring of 1945 that dealt with catering, supplies, housing, and health care. The camps, in which the Baltic committee operated, were left with the task of some political issues, organising cultural life was by rule a task for the international committee.

The Baltic Committee in Hochfeld camp in Augsburg was set up in July 1945. There was one chairman from each nation and one member. Augsburg camp was noteworthy because it promoted cooperation between the Baltic nations. Like one Estonian Baltic Committee chairman said: "This was a unique camp and organisation in the sense of cooperation – this was the Baltic Union, like it should be".

The most important cooperation for the Baltic countries was the Baltic University in the British zone, which operated from 1946–49 and started in Hamburg, then was later relocated to Pinneberg. The university was led by a President, Vice President, and three Principals (each nationality had their own Principal). The university had eight faculties: Philosophy and Philology, Economics and Law, Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Chemistry, Agricultural Sciences, Medicine, Architecture and Civil Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. At the end of the first semester there were 1025 university students enrolled (154 of them were Estonians), and 131 faculty members (25 of which were Estonian). Together there were 2006 students enrolled in the university and 79 students graduated, seven of who were Estonian. The Baltic University offered professors and researchers great opportunities to continue research and help younger compatriots start or continue their studies. Thanks to mobilisation during the German occupation, many young people lived in the German zones, which were recruited and had to leave in the middle of their studies in their homelands.
