You can do something like this:
#+name: csv
| ID | Name | Titel / Title | Vorname / First Name | Nachname /
Surname | Institution |
| 1 | Alice Apple | Fr./Ms. | Alice | Apple
| Universität zum Apfel |
| 2 | Bob Birne | Hr./Mr. | Bob | Birne
| Pear University |
| 3 | Carol Carrot | Prof. | Carol | Carrot
| University of Veg |
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :var data=csv
(let ((table (mapcar (lambda (row) (list (nth 0 row) (nth 4 row) (nth 3
row))) data)))
(setf (car table) (append (car table) '("Signature")))
table)
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
| ID | Nachname / Surname | Vorname / First Name | Signature |
| 1 | Apple | Alice | |
| 2 | Birne | Bob | |
| 3 | Carrot | Carol | |
