Abstract Text Problem: In transdisciplinary discussions about potential technological solutions to societal problems, it often remains unclear for what reasons the participants arrive at different conclusions: 1. Because they are making different assumptions on the factual possibilities and limitations of the technology? 2. Because they are using different value systems in which they evaluate the consequences of the technological applications? Method to address the problem: Before the participants enter into direct discourse, they take part in an online consultation. This online consultation is made for the elicitation of their normative orientation. The result will then be visualised as a „landscape of opinions“ and provided to the participants at the beginning of a following face-to-face workshop. With this tool, we want to support the participants in differentiating betweeen descriptive and normative basic assumptions (what is or will be vs. what ought to be).
