Towards the end of 2020, Sapir launched the new CannAcademy (Cannabis Academy) operated by the College's Professional Development Center together with important partners. These include: Israel's Ministry of Health Medical Cannabis Unit and Yeruham Local Authority's GreeNegev medical cannabis initiative.
