Comment: "It's pure 'eurospeak' (and seems to have spread to Canada)with plenty of hits. Sheila has probably accurately explained the origins. Thanks to all 4 answers, equally viable:-)"

networks of excellence
Sorry, Ailish, this isn't one of my languages, but I thought I'd see if I could solve the puzzle anyway.
Aquest document avalua els resultats del 6è PM i dóna les primeres idees per al futur PM que se centrarà en sis grans objectius:
1) creació de POLS D’EXCEL•LÈNCIA EUROPEUS mitjançant la col•laboració entre laboratoris;
http://www.infoeuropa.org:8000/actualitat.nsf/0/7A8773CD8DEB...
The objective of EMIL (European Molecular Imaging laboratories) is the creation of a Network of Excellence of European Molecular Imaging Laboratories for early stage diagnosis as well as therapeutic and prognosis assessment of cancer. The general objectives of EMIL are:
http://www.emilnet.org/scripts/home/publigen/content/templat...
The Networks of Excellence (NoE) instrument is designed to strengthen excellence on a particular research topic by integrating the critical mass of resources and expertise needed to provide European leadership and to be a world force on that topic. This expertise will be networked around a joint programme of activities (JPA) aimed primarily at creating a durable integration of the research capacities of the network participants while, at the same time, advancing knowledge on the topic.

Sheila Hardie
: very similar idea - but I think it must be 'pole' or 'centre of excellence', Kim - xarxa d'excel·lencia' is the Catalan term for network of excellence:-)

centres of excellence
The Catalan word 'pol' means 'pole, focus or centre' - as in French.
I think it may be a 'calc' of the French 'pôles d'excellence' = centres of excellence. I think it would make sense in this context. I don't
