Fredrick approved to establish an organization that he had previously supposed might persuade political-separatist propensities. In 1813, The Royal Fredrik's University was established in Christiania, a petite city at that time. Status then altered dramatically one year into the beginning of the university, as Norway asserted independence and accepted its own constitution. After World War I, investigate among Norwegian researchers brought in two Nobel prizes. The Nobel Prize in Economics was awarded to Ragnar Frisch. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Odd Hassel. In the ground of linguistics, numerous Norwegian researchers famed themselves globally.
