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
