Nataliia Yehorchenkova is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Management, Comenius University in Bratislava, and a researcher at the SPECTRA Centre of Excellence EU. Her expertise lies at the intersection of project and programme management, spatial planning, and digitalisation, with a strong focus on data-driven and AI-enabled approaches for urban transformation, climate resilience, and sustainable development. She works on bridging the “policy-to-delivery” gap by translating EU priorities and funding logic into practical governance, portfolio management, and implementation methods for cities and institutions.

At SPECTRA, she coordinates the Erasmus+ Jean Monnet Module PM4U (Project Management for EU Urban Transformation in the Context of Climate Change and Energy Transition) and contributes to major international initiatives, including DREAMER project and STICS. Her role covers academic leadership, stakeholder collaboration, and the development of competence-oriented learning content that connects project management with EU policy frameworks, digital tools, and real implementation constraints (planning, budgeting, procurement, monitoring/reporting, and impact measurement).

She has extensive experience in international teaching and capacity-building activities, including participation in Erasmus+ and other cross-border cooperation formats, and she regularly engages with multi-disciplinary teams spanning academia, municipalities, and practice. Her research outputs include peer-reviewed publications indexed in Scopus/WoS, as well as applied tools for education and practice—ranging from digital learning resources to AI-supported approaches that strengthen decision-making, transparency, and delivery performance in complex urban and infrastructure projects.
