AktionsGemeinschaft (AG) is an Austrian students' organization. In the last national-wide election in 2023, it regained its position as the second strongest political faction in the Federal Parliament of the Austrian Students' Association, winning 12 out of 55 mandates. Overall, it considers itself to be non-partisan, but is politically close to the Austrian People's Party, which temporarily funded parts of its activities in the 1990s.
AktionGemeinschaft is currently chaired by Muhammed Durmaz, who was elected as its chairman in 2022. The organization was founded in the early 1980s by a merger of the Austrian Students' Union (ideologically close to the Austrian People's Party) and the non-partisan service-oriented Austrian Students' Forum. Many of its members have also been active in various Christian and conservative students' organisations.
AktionsGemeinschaft is a member organisation of the European Democrat Students. Founded in Vienna by Scandinavian, German and Austrian students in 1961, the Freie Österreichische Studentenschaft, a legal predecessor of AG, was one of its initial members. At European level, AktionsGemeinschaft is today represented by its International Secretary, Anna Vorderwinkler.
