Description: This paper discusses the complicated environment for global science, which is becoming increasingly competitive as the world is moving closer towards multipolarity. We frame the situation as global science disorder. Key issues include geopolitical dynamics, equity, erosion of academic freedom, and rising authoritarianism. The changes significantly impact HEIs, which must navigate these changes while maintaining global value-creating relationships. We highlight the need for HEIs to stay informed about geopolitical dynamics and adapt their strategies accordingly. It also discusses the potential hindrance to addressing global challenges due to insular policies and scientific skepticism. In this changing environment HEIs need to double down on protecting academic values, supporting early-career researchers, and fostering international collaboration to tackle global issues.
