When it comes to the higher education sector (HE), initiatives and measures to tackle refugee crises have been long in place and institutionalized on national and European level; indicatively, EU policies for the HE sector regarding refugee inclusion exist for decades (European Commission, European Education Area, n.d.). In contrast, actions carried out by the corporate sector are not mapped extensively, nor have been coordinated on national or European level. The present paper explores the uncharted field of business support actions to tackle the Ukrainian refugee crisis in Europe, by taking the Baltic countries as an example. In doing so, we explore the capacity of the corporate sector to collaborate with academia and civil society to jointly address the refugee emergency. The paper presents the analysis of 100 actions that have been identified and categorized based on a typology of actions for a social purpose. We bring our focus on the Baltics as they have been particularly impacted by the Ukrainian war but have also been at the forefront of humanitarian support to Ukrainian refugees in Europe since February 2022.enArticle
