You can put all the different alternatives together?  I do the following
for degrees Celsius:

#+macro: degc @@odt:°C@@@@latex:\(^{\circ}\)C@@

Looks ugly but I don't have to look at it often.  In text, I simply have
{{{degc}}}.

(minor aside: I wish macros had been defined to be used with [[[degc]]]
instead as much easier to type than {{{degc}}})

Perfect! Actually I hadn't tried to combine them.
For chunks of text like institute affiliations, may I ask if you use 
different BEGIN_EXPORT blocks or sth else?

Thanks a lot,

Giacomo

Depends.  Most often a sequence of #+latex_header: lines as my eventual
target for export is almost always LaTeX for submission to journals.
