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. [1] 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. [2]

AktionGemeinschaft is currently chaired by Muhammed Durmaz, who was elected as its chairman in 2022. [3] 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. [4] At European level, AktionsGemeinschaft is today represented by its International Secretary, Anna Vorderwinkler. [3]
