Hi Eric,

Thanks for your help! Unfortunately, that's not what I was looking for 
and, therefore, rephrased my unclear question ("Specifying 
\institute[short]{long] in Beamer presentations"). As pointed out by 
Miklós or Suvayu, the solution was embarrassingly simpel: Just include

#+BEAMER_HEADER_EXTRA:  \institute{My insitute}

or

#+LaTeX_HEADER: \institute[short name]{My awesome institute}

Anyway, I really appreciate your help!

Bernd
