We propose to use Grothendieck institutions based on 2-categorical diagrams as a basis for heterogeneous specification. We prove a number of results about colimits and (some weak variants of) exactness. This framework can also be used for obtaining proof systems for heterogeneous theories involving institution semi-morphisms.
