2019-2022 Bilateral Croatian-Serbian Scientific and Research Project "Exploring a regulatory role of TROL protein in electron partitioning in UVB-induced mechanism of flavonoid and anthocyanins accumulation in Arabidopsis leaf" funded by The Ministry of Science and Education of the Republic of Croatia and The Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development of the Republic of Serbia

2016  -  Award of the Institute Ruđer Bošković for the best scientific paper in 2015 for the paper: Vojta et al. (2015) TROL-FNR interaction reveals alternative pathways of electron partitioning in photosynthesis. Scientific reports. 5:10085.

2000 - University of Zagreb Rector's Award for my thesis “Chloroplast isomerase TLP40 gene homologue sll0408 has the important role in cyanobacterium Synechocystis PCC6803 biogenesis” (Performed at the Rudjer Boskovic Institute, Zagreb from 1999-2000, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Nikola Ljubesic and Dr. Hrvoje Fulgosi).

1998-2002 - Republic of Croatia Undergraduate Scholarship on the basis of my grades. The scholarship was awarded to me for the whole period of my studying.
