Researchers have conducted a series of participatory deliberation workshops in which the participants were asked to consider issues of future society and manufacturing, in general, and as they relate to hydrothermally produced porous glass. In workshops where the perspective of ‘imaginary future generations’ was adopted, participants’ perceptions of the technology’s feasibility and future potentiality changed significantly.
