In this talk, I will present the results of a global Bayesian analysis of currently available neutrino data. This analysis will put data from neutrino oscillation experiments, neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$), and precision cosmology on an equal footing. I will use this setup to evaluate the discovery potential of future $0\nu\beta\beta$ experiments.Furthermore, Bayes factors of the two possible neutrino mass ordering schemes (normal or inverted) will be derived for different prior choices. The latter will show that the indication for the normal mass ordering is still very mild and is mainly driven by oscillation experiments, while it does not strongly depend on realistic prior assumptions or on different combinations of cosmological data sets. Future $0\nu\beta\beta$ experiments will be shown to have a significant discovery potential, depending on the absolute neutrino mass scale, the mass ordering scheme and the achievable background level of the experiments.
